2020 SEAT Ateca Xperience TSI EVO S-A 1.5L Petrol · WG70 LLM

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-10 showed the vehicle passed with 46,174 miles, but a failure just 11 days earlier at 46,092 miles revealed critical issues. Front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and had cuts exposing cords, while front brake pads were excessively thin. This suggests urgent maintenance was required between these dates, raising concerns about the vehicle’s safety and upkeep. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre wear and brake pad deterioration. The 2025 failure highlighted front tyre issues, while earlier failures in 2024 and 2023 noted rear brake pads below 1.5 mm, tyre cuts, and a shock absorber leak. These defects indicate consistent wear on braking systems and tyres, possibly due to heavy use or insufficient maintenance. The 2024 failure also included a serious shock absorber fluid leak, which could compromise suspension performance and safety. The trend shows worsening risks over the past two years. The 2025 failure occurred just 11 days after the previous MOT, suggesting unresolved issues or inadequate repairs. Brake pad wear and tyre damage are recurring, which may point to ongoing neglect or excessive strain on the vehicle.
