2019 SEAT Ateca 1.6L Diesel · KP19 UPH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals an inconsistent approach to preventative care. While the most recent test on 2 December 2025 at 98,712 miles resulted in a pass, the immediate failure for an offside front tyre being below the legal limit and a nearside front tyre worn to the edge indicates a lapse in basic consumable maintenance. This suggests the previous owner only addressed critical issues when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing routine inspections. The mileage pattern reflects high usage for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,100 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between January 2024 at 79,905 miles and December 2025 at 98,712 miles, covering nearly 19,000 miles in under two years. This rapid accumulation puts accelerated strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The clean records from 2023 and early 2024 contrast with the later high-mileage demands. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment for uneven tyre wear, as the edge wear noted in December 2025 often points to geometry issues or worn bushes. The braking system also requires a close look; the December 2024 test flagged thin rear brake pads at 89,503 miles, and given the high mileage, the condition of the brake discs and caliper seals should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life due to frequent use.
