2012 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · DL12 AEJ

The 2012 SEAT ALHAMBRA currently meets roadworthiness standards, as evidenced by its 2025-11-14 MOT pass at 114,275 miles with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-11-12 at 114,268 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or technical inconsistency. The absence of recorded issues in the most recent test indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the repeated failures without recorded faults in 2024 and 2023 raise questions about the reliability of the MOT data for this vehicle. The vehicle’s mileage of 114,275 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 8,162 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. The 2023-10-27 test at 98,982 miles and subsequent 2024-11-13 pass at 105,032 miles show a 6,050-mile increase over 13 months, followed by a 9,243-mile jump to 114,275 miles by 2025-11-14. This pattern suggests consistent use but lacks detailed records of component wear or repairs, making it difficult to assess long-term mechanical health. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common issues in high-mileage models. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked for rust or damage, as these can develop over time. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the lack of defect details limits confidence in the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
