The SEAT ALTEA (2004-09) 5DR MPV 2.0 FSI 150 STYLANCE TIP AUTO6 is a five-door compact MPV: a taller, roomier alternative to a conventional family hatchback, rather than an SUV. Its distinctive, rounded styling gives it a more individual look than many practical people-carriers of its era. With a 150-horsepower petrol engine and six-speed automatic, this Stylance version suits family duties, school runs and commuting, especially for drivers who value easy-going driving and a flexible cabin. It competes with cars such as the Ford C-Max, Renault Scenic and Vauxhall Zafira, combining useful space with a more car-like feel. mycarcheck.com has recorded 15 look-ups across six distinct VINs, so figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. In these checks, average private-sale valuation was £800, average recorded mileage 79,000 miles and annual mileage 5,000; vehicles averaged just over six previous keepers. Check each car’s history and condition carefully before buying.
