2017 SEAT Alhambra 2.0L Diesel · RK67 KTV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a recurring pattern of neglecting basic consumable components. The most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 79,943 miles resulted in an initial failure due to low headlamp aim and perished rubber on the nearside tyres. While the vehicle passed immediately following these repairs, the repeated presence of tyre-related failures suggests the owner only addresses faults when prompted by the annual test, rather than performing preventative maintenance on safety-critical items. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,883 miles per year. The car covered 10,594 miles between the October 2023 test at 62,421 miles and the October 2024 test at 73,015 miles, with another 6,928 miles recorded in the final year. This steady usage pattern indicates regular vehicle operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber seals, braking components, and tyres. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of all tyres, as the record shows a structural failure on the offside front tyre in 2024 and perishing on the nearside inner pair in 2025. The presence of cracking and bulges indicates the rubber may be aging poorly or suffering impact damage regardless of remaining tread depth. Additionally, the TPMS light noted in 2024 should be verified to ensure the system is functional and not masking a persistent pressure leak. Since no structural corrosion or mechanical brake failures were recorded, the primary focus remains on the condition of the external consumables and the alignment of the lighting system.
