2015 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · KW64 JRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a concerning trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive preventative care. While it passed its latest test in January 2026 at 179,729 miles, this followed a significant failure just two miles prior. The recent failure revealed critical safety defects, including exposed cords on front tyres and mismatched axle sizes, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when they reached the point of legal non-compliance. At 179,729 miles over 11 years, this vehicle averages a high annual mileage of approximately 16,300 miles. The MOT history data shows a period of heavy use between December 2024 and January 2026, where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation places immense strain on drivetrain components and suspension hardware. The transition from a clean record in late 2024 to multiple failures in early 2026 indicates the vehicle is now struggling under its high workload. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the record shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers and suspension arm bushes. The deterioration of these rubber components is typical for high-mileage vehicles but requires monitoring. Furthermore, the failure for mismatched tyre sizes on the rear axle indicates a lack of attention to basic vehicle safety. The buyer should check for uneven tyre wear across all axles, as the history shows a pattern of allowing tyres to run to the legal limit.
