2018 SEAT Ateca 1.4L Petrol · DP67 CVV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 22 January 2026 at 49,220 miles where it passed with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving, as the vehicle has achieved three clean passes in its last four inspections. This progression suggests that the mechanical and structural components are currently being maintained to a required standard for operation. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,150 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the car covered 26,108 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of neglect or heavy accumulation. This low annual mileage typically correlates to less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it necessitates a close check for age-related degradation such as rubber perish and fluid breakdown, which can occur over time regardless of low physical travel. The only recorded concern in the documented history occurred in January 2024 at 37,668 miles, when the tester flagged thin rear brake pads. Since this issue was resolved prior to the subsequent tests in 2025 and 2026, there is no evidence of a recurring mechanical failure. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the brake pads and discs to ensure no uneven wear or caliper binding has developed. Given the lack of structural advisories over the years, the integrity of the chassis appears sound, but checking the suspension bushes for cracking remains a standard prudent practice for a vehicle of this age.
