2017 SEAT Ateca 2.0L Diesel · PE67 KXK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a clear trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 56,327 miles identified multiple issues across the front braking system, suspension, and tyres. While the car passed the test, the recurrence of worn components across several testing cycles suggests that the previous owners have only addressed faults once they reached failure thresholds or advisory limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,260 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a notable gap in data between June 2022 and July 2023, where the car covered nearly 13,000 miles, but since then the usage has stabilised, with roughly 23,000 miles covered since the June 2022 test. This low mileage generally benefits the engine and drivetrain, yet it does not compensate for the visible degradation of rubber components and brake surfaces seen in the MOT records. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and braking hardware. The record shows pitted and scored brake discs in both 2024 and 2025, indicating the rotors are nearing the end of their functional life. Furthermore, the flagging of worn front suspension arm bushes on both sides in July 2025 suggests that the rubber components are perished, which will eventually lead to handling instability and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. Given the history of perishing and worn tyres, the current age and condition of all four tyres must be verified for sidew cracking or insufficient tread depth.
