2017 SEAT Ateca 2.0L Diesel · BN17 VRR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in March 2026 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the last three tests have resulted in clean passes without new advisories. While earlier tests showed minor lighting and artwork issues, the recent history suggests that the car is currently being maintained to a functional operational standard. The mileage profile is significantly high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 18,000 miles annually. There was a notable period of heavy use between 2022 and 2023, where the car covered over 36,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the accumulation has slowed to a more consistent 7,000 miles per year, though the high historical total suggests extensive motorway driving which can sometimes be less taxing on certain components than short city trips. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and alignment, as 2022 records indicated front tyres stepping to the inside edges and a rear tyre worn unevenly. These signs often point to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes that may require replacement soon. Given the high mileage and the previous mention of pitted brake discs, it is also advisable to check the remaining thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the rotors for heavy scoring or corrosion.
