2010 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · KX10 OTA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in September 2025 at 72,277 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for an offside front anti-roll bar linkage, a corroded exhaust silencer, and a nail in the tyre. While the vehicle passed after these repairs, the recurring nature of exhaust and suspension issues suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At 72,277 miles, this 16-year-old vehicle shows low mileage, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with roughly 4,800 miles covered between October 2024 and September 2025, and 7,700 miles in the previous year. However, low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and dry-rott seals, which is consistent with the deterioration of the anti-roll bar linkage dust cover noted in the records. A buyer should specifically inspect the entire exhaust system, as the silencer has been flagged for corrosion across multiple tests since 2022. The suspension requires a thorough check, particularly the anti-roll bars and bushings, given the inner-edge tyre wear noted in 2022 which may indicate a persistent alignment issue or worn control arm bushes. Additionally, the history of missing seats and child seats obstructing inspections suggests the vehicle may not have been meticulously maintained for presentation, necessitating a close look at the interior and floor mounting points for hidden wear or rust.
