2014 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · BN64 CBX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 225,337 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The transition from a failure in September 2023 to consecutive clean passes over the last two test cycles indicates that the current owner is proactive in rectifying flagged faults before they escalate into test failures. The mileage profile reflects heavy usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 18,800 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 9,312 miles, maintaining a high annual usage rate. This consistent accumulation suggests long-distance motorway driving, which typically places different stresses on drivetrain and suspension components compared to frequent city use. While the high mileage increases the likelihood of component fatigue, the regularity of testing suggests the vehicle has been operated under consistent load. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and sealing integrity given the history of noted wear. The 2023 test flagged play in both front anti-roll bar ball joints, and the 2024 test noted oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber. A buyer should verify that these components have been replaced or that the leaks and play have not progressed into significant failure. Additionally, the non-excessive oil leak recorded in 2023 warrants a close look at the engine bay and sump casing to ensure the leak remains stable and is not worsening under high-mileage operating demands.
