2013 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · CP63 FFU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and structural corrosion. While it passed the most recent test in October 2025 at 87,143 miles, the tester identified multiple defects including a corroded nearside rear coil spring and worn suspension arm bushes on both front nearside and offside. This represents a shift from the clean record seen in 2024, indicating that components are now reaching their fatigue limit. At 87,143 miles over thirteen years, the car has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a large family-V vehicle. The data shows consistent usage patterns with gaps of roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles between annual tests from 2021 through 2025. This relatively low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been heavily driven, but the age of the vehicle explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and the oxidation of metal surfaces rather than high mileage-related wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the lower chassis and suspension assembly. The record flags recurring corrosion issues, starting with subframe mounting points noted in 2023 and progressing to corroded lower suspension arms in 2022. The presence of a corroded coil spring in 2025 is a specific priority concern as surface rust can lead to sudden structural failure. Furthermore, the 2025 test noted that child seats prevented a full inspection of the adult seatbelts, so the buyer should verify that all restraintting mechanisms are fully functional and free of fraying or damage.
