2010 SEAT Altea 2.0L Diesel · YX60 YFT

The SEAT Altea presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 September 2025 at 186,199 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,600 miles, typical for a 16-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 127,987 miles in October 2021, 143,704 by August 2022, 168,380 in August 2023, 182,408 in September 2024, and 186,199 in September 2025. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests spanned ten months rather than twelve, but no long dormant periods or sudden high-use spikes appear. Every recorded test passed with zero advisories. The absence of flagged defects means no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues emerge from the data. A clean sheet across five years implies previous owners kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current. Still, at 186,000 miles the buyer should physically inspect for worn suspension arms, subframe corrosion, and exhaust integrity that a visual MOT may not capture once components age. Given the sparse but fault-free record, a pre-purchase inspection of drivetrain mounts, steering rack play, and underbody rust remains sensible. The history shows no neglected tyre tread or binding calipers, yet high mileage alone warrants verifying clutch wear and gearbox condition before purchase.
