2018 SEAT Ateca 1.6L Diesel · GL68 ADV

The vehicle maintains an excellent roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent string of clean passes. The most recent MOT conducted on 18 December 2025 at 44,417 miles resulted in a clean certificate with no defects or advisories recorded. This performance indicates a stable and well-maintained mechanical condition, as the car has successfully cleared five consecutive tests without a single failure or recorded fault. At eight years old with 44,417 miles, the vehicle shows a low annual usage rate of approximately 5,552 miles. The mileage progression remains steady, with no concerning gaps or periods of inactivity that might suggest long-term storage issues. The minimal increase in mileage between the November 2022 test at 35,149 miles and the April 2023 test at 35,180 miles reflects a brief period of low usage, but the subsequent accumulation has been consistent and predictable. Since the MOT history is entirely free of advisories, there are no recurring mechanical trends or specific component failures to monitor. The absence of flags regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion suggests the vehicle has likely been garaged or stored in a favourable environment. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and the state of the brake friction surfaces, as these consumables are the most likely components to show age-related degradation despite the clean test record. Given the lack of historical issues, the vehicle appears to have been subject to responsible ownership and regular upkeep.
