2017 SEAT Ateca 1.0L Petrol · DA17 EAE

The SEAT Ateca presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 87,429 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in November 2024 and November 2023 also closed as passes after initial administrative failures on the same dates with no defects listed. The history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the recorded period, indicating consistent compliance with MOT standards. Recorded mileage rose from 59,790 at the November 2023 test to 70,863 by November 2024, then to 87,429 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 miles per year across the last two intervals, marginally above the lifetime average of 9,714 miles per year for this nine-year-old vehicle. The data is sparse, with only three test years captured, but the clean sheets suggest the previous keepers addressed any roadworthiness issues before presentation rather than letting wear accumulate. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries in 2023 and 2024 with no defects noted point to documentation or process errors at the testing station rather than unresolved mechanical faults. No corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emission concerns appear in the record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades, as these are not always captured when a test logs zero defects. Given the absent advisory history, the Ateca shows no evidence of worsening wear or neglected upkeep across the supplied record. Physical checks of underbody condition and brake caliper operation remain prudent on any used SUV of this age, but the DVSA data alone supports a favourable roadworthiness verdict as of the last test in late 2025.
