2010 SEAT Altea 1.9L Diesel · VE59 KNA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 January 2025 with 180,055 miles. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures just prior to passes, the passing tests themselves recorded no mechanical defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owner was willing to identify and rectify specific faults immediately to ensure the vehicle remained legal, rather than allowing minor mechanical issues to deteriorate over multiple testing cycles. The recorded mileage of 180,055 miles over 16 years represents an average annual run of approximately 11,253 miles. This usage profile aligns closely with typical national averages for a family vehicle. The data shows consistent progression, with roughly 30,000 miles covered between January 2023 and January 2024, and another 34,500 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025. This regularity indicates the car has been used steadily rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps keep seals and components lubricated. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components common to this mileage bracket. At over 180,000 miles, the priority is checking the condition of the suspension bushes, control arm ball, and structural integrity of the chassis for mounting corrosion. Since the MOT records show no advisories for brakes or tyres, a manual inspection should still verify for uneven tyre wear, brake pad thickness, and the condition of the rear coil springs to ensure no hidden wear has developed since the last test.
