2022 SEAT Ateca FR Sport TSI EVO S-A 1.5L Petrol · OY71 UAV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a stable trend of unaddressed mechanical wear. The most recent test in January 2026 at 28,026 miles resulted in a pass despite carrying identical technical advisories from the previous year in January 2025. This suggests that while the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, the previous owner has neglected to rectify identified issues regarding the front suspension. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 22,369 miles and the January 2026 test at 28,026 miles, the car covered 5,657 miles. This low mileage generally reduces stress on the drivetrain and engine, yet the recurrence of specific faults indicates that components are failing regardless of the distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front shock absorbers. The persistent light misting of oil on both the nearside and offside front units across two consecutive years suggests that the seals are beginning to fail and will eventually lead to total loss of damping. The repeated advisory for the offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit on the edge also indicates a potential alignment issue or uneven suspension wear that requires professional investigation to prevent premature tyre degradation.
