2016 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · LP16 VNN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, holding a clean pass as of 27 April 2026 at 184,012 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability following a minor failure in October 2025. While the car previously struggled with basic lighting issues, specifically a low headlamp aim and a non-functional indicator, these were rectified immediately to allow a retest pass. This suggests the owner is responsive to MOT failure requirements once they are identified. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 18,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent, heavy usage, with 10,192 miles covered between October 2025 and April 2026, and another 9,769 miles recorded between April and October 2025. This rate of accumulation puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The lack of long gaps between tests indicates the vehicle is used regularly for long-distance travel, which often results in better mechanical preservation but accelerates the wear of consumable components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and tyres, as the October 2024 test flagged three separate tyres for reaching the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This pattern often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have not yet been addressed. Given the high mileage, the inspection should also check for signs of shock absorber leaks and thinning of the brake discs and pads. While no structural corrosion or emissions failures were noted in the recent history, the sheer mileage makes the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the exhaust system a priority during a physical evaluation.
