2018 SEAT Ateca 1.0L Petrol · CX68 OUC

The 2018 SEAT Ateca presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 122,868 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also returned passes with no advisories. The lone failure on 29 August 2023 at 105,075 miles listed no defects, indicating a administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a passing test the same day. Mileage sits high for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 92,057 miles in September 2022, rising to 105,075 by August 2023, then 113,941 by September 2024 and 122,868 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 15,300 miles per year, with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The clean pass sheet across this span suggests the previous keeper kept the car serviced to a standard that satisfied annual statutory testing, though no private maintenance invoices sit in this dataset. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the annual mileage load. The MOT history flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or structural integrity concerns, yet testers recorded zero advisories at every visit, which can mean consumable items were renewed before test or simply escaped notation. Verify the 29 August 2023 failure reason at the DVSA portal, since a no-defect fail is unusual. Check tyre tread depth and wiper condition in person, as these minor items fall outside the recorded advisories but wear fastest at this mileage. The drivetrain has covered 122,868 miles without recorded fault; treat it as sound pending a road test for gearbox and turbo behaviour.
