2022 SEAT Ateca FR Sport Ecotsi S-A 1.5L Petrol · KP72 LWM

The 2022 SEAT ATECA FR SPORT ECOTSI S-A passed its latest MOT on 31 October 2025 with a mileage reading of 30,415 miles, confirming that it remains roadworthy. The tester flagged a slight play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint (5.3.4 (a) (i)) and light oil misting on both front shock absorbers (5.3.2 (b)), which are advisory items but indicate wear that should be monitored. No serious structural or brake failures were recorded, and the overall condition appears stable based on this most recent test. At four years of age the recorded mileage averages 7,604 miles per year, a figure that aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this class. The single MOT entry provides no evidence of irregular mileage spikes; the 2025 test follows the 2022 registration without any intervening records, suggesting a clean mileage history and no rapid accumulation or long standing periods indicated by the data supplied. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically the ball joint and shock absorber seals, to verify that the play and oil misting have not progressed to binding or leakage. The offside rear tyre nail warrants close examination for potential puncture or damage, and the condition of the rear brake calipers and discs should be checked for binding or excessive wear. Finally, the vehicle’s structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and chassis rails, should be assessed for corrosion, as the MOT record does not detail any rust findings but the advisory nature of the suspension items implies the need for a thorough visual inspection.
