Our Verdict

A solid purchase option for those seekin

When inspecting this silver Ateca, focus on the tyre condition. The 2023 MOT recorded both rear tyres as slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing; ensure these have been replaced since that advisory. Given the diesel engine, check for a consistent service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump intervals have been respected.

Negotiate based on the current mileage and the age of the vehicle. While the recent MOTs are clean, always verify that the 71,235 miles recorded in September 2025 aligns with the service stamps to ensure the engine has been maintained according to manufacturer schedules.

As a 1598cc diesel, this Ateca is designed for efficiency, likely offering good motorway fuel economy. Tax bands for this era of SEAT SUV vary depending on CO2 emissions, so check the specific V5C document.

Insurance groups for the Ateca are generally mid-range, and maintenance costs typically involve standard diesel engine servicing. Expect annual running costs to be influenced heavily by your annual mileage, though the vehicle's average annual mileage is recorded at 8,624 miles across the wider model sample.

Review the tyre tread and sidewalls carefully. The 2023 MOT history specifically flagged rear tyre perishing, so check for any signs of age-related cracking even if the tread depth appears sufficient.

Additionally, while the model aggregate data suggests headlamps and registration plates are common failure points for this model, this specific vehicle has had no such failures recorded. Still, perform a thorough check of all light clusters and ensure the number plates are secure and legible.

This 2017 SEAT Ateca (FG67DPF) is a 1.6L diesel model with 71,235 miles on the clock. The MOT history shows five recorded tests since 2021, with only one recorded advisory regarding rear tyre condition in 2023. The vehicle has passed its most recent tests in 2024 and 2025 without any recorded defects.

The SEAT Ateca shows a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 90.3% across 41,441 analysed vehicles.
