2017 SEAT Ateca 2.0L Diesel · FE17 BVL

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend, passing its most recent MOT on 13 June 2025 at 92,959 miles. While the most recent test flagged a damaged windscreen, the tester determined it did not adversely affect the driver's view. The absence of major failures or serious advisories in the last two years suggests the vehicle has been kept in a serviceable condition, though the windscreen issue has appeared in consecutive tests since June 2024. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 10,329 miles per year, moving from 46,234 miles in July 2021 to 92,959 miles in June 2025. This steady progression indicates regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which generally helps prevent issues like seized calipers or perished rubber components. A buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system and lighting. The record shows a recurring pattern of brake disc wear, with the 2022 test at 61,135 miles flagging pitted or scored front discs and the 2023 test at 69,727 miles noting wear on both front and rear discs. Although these were passed as not being excessively worn, the history suggests the pads and discs are approaching the end of their service life. The 2023 advisory regarding discoloured rear indicators also warrants a check to ensure all light housings are clear and functional. The windscreen damage noted in both the 2024 and 2025 tests should be inspected for any signs of spreading cracks or chips that could compromise structural integrity or visibility. Beyond these points, the MOT history lacks mentions of suspension bushes, coil springs, or significant corrosion, suggesting the chassis and running gear have remained within acceptable parameters during recent inspections.
