2018 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · HV18 WNJ

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT passed on 8 July 2026. While the car has maintained a consistent pass record, the presence of a tyre advisory in the latest test indicates that consumable maintenance is reactive rather than proactive. The history shows a pattern of addressing wear items as they approach legal limits rather than performing preventative replacements. The recorded mileage of 72,734 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. This suggests regular, moderate usage which typically avoids the pitfalls of long-term stagnation or excessive high-speed motorway wear. The testing intervals appear regular, with no significant gaps in the recorded history between 2022 and 2026, supporting a pattern of consistent annual inspections. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components. The MOT history shows recurring issues with brake discs, which have been flagged as pitted, scored, or corroded in almost every test since May 2022. While these were noted as not being seriously weakened, the persistent nature of these advisories suggests the braking components are nearing the end of their service life. The July 2024 advisory regarding the nearside rear upper trailing arm bush debonding also warrants a close inspection of the rear suspension for any signs of excessive movement or play. Tyre condition also requires scrutiny. The tester flagged an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit in July 2026, following a similar advisory for an offside front tyre in May 2023. This repetition suggests the owner may be running tyres close to their wear limits. Checking the alignment and ensuring even tread wear across all four tyres is advisable to rule out underlying suspension geometry issues.
