2023 SEAT Ateca FR Sport Ecotsi S-A 1.5L Petrol · FN23 LVA

The vehicle presents a stable and sound mechanical condition based on its most recent assessment. On 25 February 2026 at 26,145 miles, the SEAT Ateca passed its MOT with zero defects recorded, indicating full compliance with roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trend appears entirely stable, with no recurring faults or advisories to suggest underlying mechanical deterioration. A test conducted the previous day, 24 February 2026 at 26,143 miles, recorded a failure yet lists no defects. This anomaly suggests an administrative error, an aborted inspection, or an equipment malfunction rather than a sudden mechanical fault, given the clean pass immediately after. The recorded mileage of 26,145 miles aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, reflecting an average annual accumulation of roughly 8,715 miles. This is a typical usage pattern for a three-year-old vehicle, pointing to regular, consistent driving rather than prolonged standing or excessively high motorway mileage. The minimal two-mile discrepancy between the 24 February and 25 February 2026 tests confirms the vehicle was driven directly to and from the testing station. There are no significant mileage gaps or sudden accumulations in the sparse record to raise concerns about odometer tampering or erratic usage. With no recurring mechanical or structural advisories present in the official record, the vehicle's history does not point toward specific systemic failures. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection, focusing on the typical wear items for a performance-oriented compact SUV. Check the condition of the TSI engine's turbocharger and direct injection system for any signs of oil consumption or carbon buildup. Inspect the FR Sport suspension components, particularly the shock absorbers and bushes, for any leaks or deterioration that might not yet trigger an MOT failure but could indicate hard driving. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, alongside the condition of the tyres, ensuring the tread depths remain legal and the sidewalls are free from damage.
