2020 SEAT Ateca 1.5L Petrol · KS20 UBR

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until July 2026, with the most recent test on 9 July 2026 at 23,252 miles indicating a slight decline in condition compared to previous years. While the vehicle passed the last two inspections, the emergence of three distinct advisories marks a shift from the clean test results recorded in 2023 and 2024. The presence of recurring tyre degradation alongside a new suspension-related advisory suggests that the vehicle is now entering a phase where consumable components require proactive attention. The recorded mileage of 23,252 over six years averages approximately 3,875 miles annually, which is significantly lower than the typical UK usage profile. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing with no significant gaps in the timeline, confirming that the vehicle has remained in use throughout its life. This low-mileage profile often results in different mechanical pressures compared to high-mileage examples, specifically regarding the potential for rubber components to age through time rather than wear through heavy road use. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear tyres, as the cracking and perishing noted in both the 2025 and 2026 tests indicate that the rubber is deteriorating, likely due to age or environmental exposure. The light misting of oil on the offside front shock absorber requires monitoring, as this can be an early indicator of a seal failure that will eventually necessitate a suspension overhaul. Given the low annual mileage, check the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, as these components often suffer from lack of regular use in low-mileage vehicles. Buying score 60, risk level Medium.
