AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2018 SEAT ATECA is presently roadworthy, the 30 October 2025 MOT at 82,193 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend after the earlier 2023 test showed only minor advisories. Mileage has risen from 50,811 miles in December 2022 to 82,193 miles in October 2025, an average of roughly 10,300 miles per year, consistent with the vehicle’s age and typical usage patterns, with no significant periods of inactivity evident between tests. Recurring issues include edge‑worn tyres noted in the 2024 test, which suggest possible alignment or suspension wear, and the 2023 advisories of pitted brake discs and light oil misting on the near‑side front shock absorber, pointing to components that merit close inspection for wear and proper function. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and shock absorber for leaks, assess the condition of the brake discs for scoring or cracking, verify tyre tread depth and wear pattern, and look for any structural rust or exhaust emission anomalies that might have been missed in the MOT records.
