2013 SEAT Altea 1.6L Diesel · DC05 PJC

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-01 recorded a PASS, but noted a TPMS warning light illuminated and an expired emergency tyre sealant (last replaced in 04/2017). This aligns with previous entries where the same tyre sealant issue was flagged, indicating a persistent failure to address this component. The TPMS warning suggests a potential fault in the tyre pressure monitoring system, which could affect safety and fuel efficiency. Recurring issues in the MOT history include the expired emergency tyre sealant, which has been documented since at least 2021. This implies a lack of regular maintenance or oversight, as the sealant’s expiry date (04/2017) predates the earliest recorded MOT in 2021. The 2022 MOT also noted deteriorated front wipers, a minor but recurring issue that may indicate exposure to environmental factors or neglect. No other defects were recorded in 2021, suggesting a period of relative stability before 2022. The trend of issues appears stable rather than worsening. The same tyre sealant problem has persisted across multiple MOTs without resolution, while the wiper failure in 2022 was a one-time observation. There is no evidence of new or escalating defects in later tests, but the repeated failure to address the sealant expiry raises concerns about long-term maintenance practices.
