2019 SEAT Ateca 1.6L Diesel · ST69 TZM

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a clean and stable maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 June 2024 at 56,154 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows two consecutive clean passes in 2023 and 2022, indicating that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a consistently high standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a modern SUV, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between the November 2022 test at 36,358 miles and the July 2023 test at 43,025 miles, the car covered 6,667 miles in eight months, followed by 13,129 miles in the eleven months leading to the June 2024 test. This regular use helps prevent long periods of standing, which reduces the risk of perished seals or seized brake components often found in lower-mileage vehicles. Since the MOT record shows no historical advisories regarding suspension components or brake system wear, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the state of consumable items that fall outside the MOT scope. A buyer should check the remaining life on the brake pads and the condition of the tyres, as the record does not track these items. Given the age of the vehicle, inspecting the underbody for early signs of corrosion on the exhaust and arms is also prudent, though the clean history suggests the structural integrity remains sound.
