2016 SEAT Ateca 1.4L Petrol · YP66 FXK

This 2016 SEAT Ateca has covered a typical mileage for its age, around 94,000 miles, which suggests regular use but not necessarily excessive wear. However, its MOT history shows a clear pattern of emerging issues that a buyer must address. The most recent test in May 2026 was a pass, but it came only after an immediate retest. The initial failure on the same date highlighted several problems that were likely fixed for the retest, such as worn front brake pads, discs, and a defective offside track rod end. The retest pass came with six advisories for worn front suspension arm bushes and cracking tyres on all four corners. The key recurring pattern is wear to the front suspension components and the tyres. The worn suspension arm bushes were noted on both the failed and subsequent passed test in 2026. This issue, along with the tyre damage, was not present in the clean 2024 and 2025 MOTs, indicating a clear deterioration in the last 12 months. The condition is therefore worsening, not stable. The trend points to neglect or hard use over the past year.
