2021 SEAT Ateca SE Technology TSI EVO 1.5L Petrol · DC21 WVB

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 June 2025 at 58,540 miles with no recorded defects or advisories. The maintenance history shows an improving trend as the mechanical issues identified in the previous year were clearly addressed. The absence of failures in the most recent inspection suggests that the owner has been proactive regarding essential safety repairs. The mileage progression is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per annum. Between the July 2024 test at 44,903 miles and the June 2025 test at 58,540 miles, the car covered 13,637 miles. This rate of use indicates regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which generally benefits the health of the engine seals and mechanical components. A buyer should focus on the braking system during a physical inspection, as the July 2024 test flagged thin rear brake pads. While the 2025 test indicates this was rectified, a manual check should verify the remaining life of the pads and inspect for any uneven wear or scoring on the brake discs. Given the mileage, a visual inspection of the suspension bushes and tyres for uneven wear is also advisable to ensure the consistent usage pattern has not led to alignment issues.
