2017 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · FM66 PJJ

The current roadworthiness status of this Seat Alhambra is satisfactory following the pass certificate issued on 1 June 2026. While the vehicle holds a valid MOT, the maintenance history shows a concerning trend regarding tyre condition. The presence of perishing and damage on tyres in consecutive years suggests the vehicle may be subject to prolonged periods of inactivity or storage in suboptimal conditions, which can accelerate the degradation of rubber compounds regardless of the low mileage covered. The recorded mileage of 36,969 over a nine-year lifespan indicates a light usage pattern of approximately 4,100 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is generally favourable for the drivetrain, yet the history reveals a significant spike in electrical complexity during the May 2025 test. The vehicle failed that inspection due to a cluster of electronic faults involving the power steering, anti-lock braking system, and stability control. Although these items were rectified to secure a pass the following day, such a sudden failure of multiple integrated safety systems warrants a cautious approach to the vehicle's electronic health. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls to ensure the current perishing is superficial rather than structural. Given the history of electronic warning lamp malfunctions, a diagnostic scan is essential to confirm that the previous repairs were permanent and not temporary clearing of fault codes. Inspect the suspension components and brake discs for signs of surface corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or neglected maintenance due to infrequent use. Verify that the steering feel remains consistent and free of the warning lights that previously compromised the vehicle's roadworthiness.
