The SEAT ALTEA (2009-15) 5DR MPV 2.0 TDI CR DPF 140 EU5 I TECH 6SPD is a compact five-door people carrier, offering a taller, roomier alternative to a conventional family hatchback. It sits between small cars and larger MPVs in the UK used-car market, with a practical cabin and manageable footprint. The 2.0-litre diesel and six-speed manual suit longer commutes and family journeys, while the I TECH version adds a more generous equipment feel. Its upright shape makes access and loading easier than in many hatchbacks; compared with rivals such as the Ford C-MAX and Vauxhall Zafira, it offers useful space without feeling oversized. mycarcheck.com records 15 checks across six VINs, a modest sample. Their average private-sale valuation was £5,500, recorded mileage 48,000 miles and annual mileage 9,000 miles; cars averaged 1.3 previous keepers. Treat these as useful indicators, not guarantees: condition and history remain essential before making a decision.
