2004 SEAT Alhambra 1.9L Diesel · CK54 UCP

The 2004 SEAT Alhambra presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 13 June 2023 at 165,837 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared its final test with no defects logged, and no advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the supplied five-year record. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,538 miles per year against the 165,837 miles recorded. The gap between the 4 March 2021 pass at 153,754 miles and the 14 March 2022 failure at 160,345 miles shows about 6,591 miles added in that year, then only 6,484 miles to the June 2023 pass. The data is sparse and clean, with two failed tests in March 2022 and March 2023 both showing no defects recorded, implying administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points given the vehicle's age and southwest-facing UK road salt exposure over two decades. The MOT record flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns, yet the absence of advisories across this mileage suggests testers may not have probed wear items closely. Verify the actual road condition of tyres, wiper blades, and underbody rust before purchase. The repeated no-defect failures followed by quick passes at near-identical mileages, such as 160,345 failing then 160,350 passing eight days later, indicate the owner addressed minor test-centre queries promptly. This points to a keeper conducting basic compliance rather than deep preventative maintenance, so a pre-purchase mechanical survey remains prudent.
