2017 SEAT Ateca 1.0L Petrol · DK67 PPF

The 2017 SEAT Ateca has a relatively recent MOT pass from August 2025, showing 71,519 miles. The mileage is roughly 7,947 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests standard usage rather than extreme motorway running or excessive short-trip urban driving. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern regarding tyre maintenance and rear axle consumables. There is a consistent trend of issues with rear tyres, specifically regarding wear on the edges, cracking, and perishing, which appeared in 2022, 2023, and 2024. While the 2025 MOT did not list tyre defects, it did note that the nearside rear brake pads are wearing thin. The vehicle's condition trend looks somewhat unstable regarding maintenance of consumables. While the car is passing its tests, the repeated failures and advisories for tyres and now brake pads suggest that maintenance on the rear suspension and braking components might be reactive rather than proactive. Because the most recent advisory mentions thinning brake pads, the mechanical trend is currently leaning towards needing immediate attention to wear-and-tear items. When inspecting this car in person, your priority should be to check the remaining tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they aren't nearing the legal limit or showing signs of perishing. You must also check the remaining life on the brake pads and discs, particularly at the rear, and inspect the windscreen wipers for effective clearing.
