2011 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · M5 JSA

The SEAT Alhambra passed its most recent MOT on 5 September 2025 at 214,154 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the three prior passing tests in August 2023, August 2024, and September 2025 also logged no advisories or faults. The two failed entries on 1 September 2025 and 21 August 2023 at identical mileages to their same-day passes show administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical defects, with the tester recording no defects in either case. At roughly 15 years old the vehicle carries 214,154 miles, equating to about 14,277 miles per year and placing it well above average use for its age. The record shows steady annual accumulation: 195,190 miles on 21 August 2023, rising to 205,938 by 7 August 2024 and 214,154 by September 2025. No standing periods or sudden jumps appear. The clean pass history across this high-mileage span suggests the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current, though the absence of advisories at this age and distance is unusual and may reflect lenient inspection rather than genuine freedom from wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the mileage and 2011 build year. Brake discs and calipers warrant physical measurement, as high annual use accelerates wear even where the MOT logged no binding or imbalance. Drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions components should be checked for fatigue, since the record offers no insight into consumable condition between tests. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pattern points to paperwork or lighting issues at the test centre rather than owner neglect of mechanics. Treat the zero-advisory record with caution and verify underside structural integrity before purchase.
