2014 SEAT Altea 1.6L Diesel · GV14 KVP

The 2014 SEAT Altea presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 91,380 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure at 91,379 miles where the DVSA entry logs no defects, indicating an administrative or data anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior three annual tests from July 2022 to July 2024 the vehicle passed cleanly each time, showing no escalating advisories or recurring structural concerns. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a twelve-year-old car. The record shows 62,553 miles in July 2022, rising to 71,497 by July 2023, 81,584 by July 2024, and 91,380 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles per year across the logged period, slightly above the 7,615-mile annual average implied by the odometer but consistent and unremarkable. The history is sparse on faults, with no advisories for tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry, which suggests the previous keeper kept the car to a basic pass standard without neglected consumables surfacing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. The absence of advisories does not confirm the condition of coil springs, brake discs, or underbody structural integrity, only that the tester raised nothing at the time. Given the car's age, check for rust on sills and subframes and verify suspension arm bushes for age-related cracking. The same-day fail and pass in July 2025 with a one-mile discrepancy points to a clerical retry rather than a genuine defect. Treat the paperwork as sound but validate the odometer against service stamps. No recurring mechanical trend exists in the data to warn against purchase.
