2014 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · JC 5003

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening regarding suspension and tyre management. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025, the history highlights recurring issues with tyre condition, specifically front tyres nearing their legal limits and exhibiting significant inner wear. This follows a pattern established in previous years, such as the damp offside front shock absorber identified in late 2024. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,750 miles per year. There is a consistent interval of usage between MOT tests, with roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles recorded between each annual inspection from 2021 to 2025. While this low mileage generally suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and dry seals if the car sits stationary for long periods between drives. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and artwork alignment, as the recurring inner wear on the front tyres suggests potential geometry issues or worn components that have not been fully rectified. The offside front shock absorber noted in 2024 should be verified to ensure it has been replaced and is no longer leaking. Additionally, the rear tyres should be checked for uneven wear, as the history shows the nearside rear nearing legal limits in both 2022 and 2023.
