2010 SEAT Altea 1.9L Diesel · CK10 AAU

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available data, though its current roadworthiness is unverified as the most recent MOT test dates back to 27 November 2023. That test, conducted at 125,041 miles, resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the car was in a satisfactory condition nearly two years ago, but the lack of a 2024 or 2025 entry indicates a significant gap in official compliance. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 7,815 miles per year. Between 30 April 2021 and 28 April 2022, the car covered 9,418 miles. However, the vehicle has remained stationary at 125,041 miles from November 2023 through to July 2026. This prolonged period of inactivity is a primary concern, as standing vehicles often develop seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and battery failure. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and tyres due to the long dormancy. Check for binding calipers and ensure the brake discs have not suffered from heavy surface corrosion. The absence of any recorded failures or advisories across the 2021 to 2023 period is unusual for a sixteen year old car, meaning the record is either exceptionally clean or lacks detail. Focus the inspection on structural integrity and suspension bushes, as these components typically degrade on a 2010 model regardless of a clean MOT sheet. Verify the condition of the exhaust system and check for any signs of chassis corrosion that may have developed while the car sat idle. A full service is recommended to address oil degradation and fluid contamination caused by the extended lack of use.
