2017 SEAT Ateca 2.0L Diesel · JM65 ASK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 14 August 2025 at 22,681 miles recorded no defects, maintaining a perfectly stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This flawless record suggests the vehicle has been kept in a condition that avoids the common mechanical and structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,520 miles per year. Between the August 2021 test at 12,165 miles and the August 2024 test at 20,400 miles, the car covered only 8,235 miles. While this low usage indicates minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between periods of use can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid properties that mileage alone does not capture. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or faults, an in-person inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than mileage. A buyer should check the tyres for sidewall cracking or spotting, as low-mileage vehicles often sit for extended periods. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and to verify that the suspension bushes remain free of cracking, as these materials can perish over time regardless of low road use.
