2020 SEAT Ateca 1.5L Petrol · GF69 HHW

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 37,450 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for thin rear brake pads. While the vehicle remains roadworthy, this indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its functional life and requires attention to prevent a failure in the next inspection. The mileage pattern is typical for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per annum. Between January 2023 at 12,429 miles and January 2025 at 25,103 miles, the car covered 12,674 miles, showing steady usage. The recent jump of 12,347 miles recorded between the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests regular, low-intensity driving which typically reduces the stress on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mile counterparts. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system during a physical appraisal to ensure the rear pads have been replaced. Since the tester flagged thin pads in January, check the brake discs for signs of uneven wear or scoring which often accompanies worn-out pads. Given the lack of recorded defects in previous years, the structural integrity and suspension components appear sound, but a standard check of the tyre sidewalls for cracking is advisable given the vehicle's age.
