2020 SEAT Ateca 1.5L Petrol · DA69 UPJ

The SEAT Ateca presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 30 July 2025 at 26,989 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean history across all three available entries. The recorded mileage shows very low use for a six-year-old vehicle. The June 2023 test logged 20,895 miles, then the August 2024 test showed only 21,062 miles, a mere 167 miles in over thirteen months. By July 2025 the odometer read 26,989 miles, giving an average of roughly 4,500 miles per year. Such sparse annual accumulation points to extended standing periods rather than steady daily driving. The MOT data itself is clean and sparse, with no advisories or failures to interrogate. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection centred on components that suffer from inactivity. Long stationary spells accelerate tyre sidewall cracking, flat-spotting, and brake disc corrosion through lack of use. The tester raised no structural or mechanical flags, so suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust emissions show no recorded concern. Given the absent advisory history, previous keepers appear to have stored the car responsibly and met test requirements without deferred consumable neglect. Verify the actual condition of brake calipers for seizing after disuse, and confirm underbody integrity for any moisture-related corrosion not yet surfaced at test.
