2019 SEAT Ateca 1.5L Petrol · ST69 HFJ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 21 May 2026 at 30 634 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a stable and improving maintenance trend after the sole advisory noted in 2022. The absence of any failures in the three subsequent tests demonstrates that the mechanical condition has been maintained without the emergence of new issues. Mileage accumulation shows a low‑use pattern for a seven‑year‑old car. Between September 2022 (17 189 miles) and January 2024 (24 563 miles) the odometer rose by 7 374 miles, averaging roughly 4 900 miles per year. The rate then fell to about 2 300 miles in the year to February 2025 (26 833 miles) and to 3 800 miles in the period to May 2026, yielding an overall average of approximately 4 376 miles per year. The gap in the record for 2023 suggests the vehicle may have been stored for a significant period, which is consistent with the low mileage figure. A prospective buyer should inspect the front tyres for uneven wear and ensure the tread depth meets the legal requirement, as the 2022 test flagged wear close to the limit on both sides. Brake discs and pads should be examined for corrosion or glazing, given the low‑mileage operation that can lead to stale friction materials. Suspension bushes and coil springs merit a visual check for cracking or excessive play, while the exhaust system and under‑body panels should be inspected for rust, especially after a prolonged storage interval. Finally, verify the battery condition, coolant level, and any fluid leaks, as extended inactivity can affect these consumables.
