2017 SEAT Ateca 1.4L Petrol · FE67 UMM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a consistent and stable maintenance history demonstrated by five consecutive MOT passes over the past five years. The most recent test on 2025-08-19 at 65,849 miles confirmed no defects, indicating that the car has been maintained to a high standard in the immediate term. This pattern of clean results across all tests suggests reliable upkeep and no significant mechanical deterioration during this period. Mileage progression shows a steady annual average of approximately 7,300 miles, which aligns closely with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. From 2021 to 2022, the car accumulated just over 1,000 miles, suggesting minimal use during that year—possibly due to seasonal or infrequent driving. However, from 2022 onward, mileage increased consistently: 9,101 to 23,342 (2023), then to 47,435 (2024), and finally to 65,849 (2025). This indicates a return to regular use, with no sudden spikes or unexplained gaps, supporting the reliability of the recorded figures. Given the absence of any advisories or failures in the full MOT history, there are no red flags related to structural integrity, suspension wear, brake system performance, or exhaust emissions. However, a buyer should still conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade under sustained use and may not be immediately apparent in a standard MOT. Additionally, while the brakes passed all tests, the condition of the brake discs and calipers should be verified in person, particularly given the cumulative mileage. A visual check for corrosion around the wheel arches and underbody panels is also recommended, as rust can develop in hidden areas even if it hasn’t yet triggered an MOT failure.
