2020 SEAT Ateca 1.5L Petrol · DA20 XYR

The SEAT Ateca presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 57,428 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three subsequent annual examinations back to July 2023 also passed clean. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the chain, so the upkeep pattern shows consistent compliance rather than a worsening or resolving fault cycle. Recorded mileage sits at typical levels for a six-year-old vehicle. The owner covered 29,335 miles by the 27 July 2023 failure and pass, then 44,470 miles at the 6 August 2024 test, and 57,428 miles by July 2025. That equates to roughly 14,000 miles in the first interval and 13,000 in the second, a steady 9,500-mile annual average with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The history is sparse on faults, which suggests routine servicing rather than deferred consumable replacement. The only blemish is the 27 July 2023 duplicate entry where the car failed at 29,335 miles then passed at 29,336 miles on the same day with no defects listed. This points to an administrative or pre-check error at the testing station, not a mechanical defect. Given the clean run since, the buyer should still verify in person that brake discs, suspension bushes, and underbody corrosion match the absent advisories, as MOT passes do not confirm component life remaining. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions against the claimed mileage. The record implies a careful keeper who cleared each test first time, so serious structural or drivetrain risk looks low, but physical checks on coil springs and binding calipers remain sensible on any used SUV.
