2018 SEAT Ateca 1.6L Diesel · CU18 TXV

The 2018 SEAT Ateca demonstrates a highly stable and exemplary maintenance trend, passing every recorded MOT without a single defect. The most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 50,534 miles returned a clean pass with zero advisories or failures. This unblemished record suggests a previous owner who kept on top of routine servicing and addressed wear items proactively before they escalated into testable faults. Mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, reflecting typical usage rather than prolonged standing or excessive wear. Between the 12 March 2022 test at 31,042 miles and the 21 February 2023 test at 37,916 miles, the car covered 6,874 miles. Subsequent annual intervals show consistent use: 3,910 miles by 2 March 2024, 4,059 miles by 3 March 2025, and 4,649 miles by 9 March 2026. This steady accumulation of roughly 6,317 miles per year indicates regular, mixed driving rather than sitting idle for long periods. Despite the flawless MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of age-related components not always captured in a pass. A buyer should closely examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as 50,000 miles of use often exposes worn damping. Brake discs and pads require measurement for wear, while the exhaust system and underbody need checking for corrosion. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition warrant scrutiny, given that uneven wear could indicate alignment issues absent from the digital record.
