2006 SEAT Altea 1.9L Diesel · FM06 TSV

The SEAT Altea presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 86,884 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 1 July 2024 at 81,602 miles also passed clean. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring defects in the recorded period. The recorded mileage of 86,884 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 4,344 miles per year against the car's 2006 build date, marking it as low-use for its age. Between 23 March 2023 at 78,482 miles and 1 July 2024 at 81,602 miles the car covered only about 3,120 miles in fifteen months, then added 5,282 miles by June 2025. The sparse record shows two failed tests on 25 June 2024 and 23 March 2023, both at 81,556 and 78,482 miles respectively, with no defects logged, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical failure. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's twenty-year age and likely periods of standing. Low mileage combined with intermittent use can allow corrosion to develop on structural members and exhaust components even where MOT tests show clean results. The absence of recorded advisories means no specific recurring fault pattern emerged, but the 2024 and 2023 failures with zero defects warrant confirmation that the DVSA entries reflect genuine test outcomes rather than data anomalies before purchase.
