2010 SEAT Alhambra 1.9L Diesel · DF59 HSO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The last recorded test conducted on September 5, 2022, at 105,235 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met minimum safety standards at that time. While the history shows immediate failures prior to these passes in both 2021 and 2022, the subsequent clean sheets suggest that the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults before the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between September 2020 at 90,112 miles and September 2022 at 105,235 miles, the vehicle covered 15,123 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which typically prevents the degradation of seals and suspension components compared to vehicles that sit stationary. However, because the last test was conducted nearly four years ago, the vehicle is currently significantly overdue for an annual MOT, making the current state of mechanical and structural components unverified without a fresh inspection. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and braking system due to the lapse in the testing record. Given the vehicle's age, close attention is required for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, which are common on this model. Inspectors should examine the suspension bushes for perished rubber and check the brake calipers for binding, as low annual mileage can sometimes lead to component oxidation. The absence of advisories in the final records does not guarantee the absence of wear developed over the four-year gap.
