SEAT ALTEA (2004-09) 5DR MPV 2.0 TDI 140 SPECIAL EDITION 6SPD

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The SEAT ALTEA (2004-09) 5DR MPV 2.0 TDI 140 SPECIAL EDITION 6SPD is a compact five-door people carrier: roomier and taller than a conventional family hatchback, but less bulky than a full-size MPV. Its sporty, distinctive shape gives it a useful middle ground for UK families needing flexible everyday space.
The 2.0-litre diesel and six-speed manual suit regular commuting, motorway journeys and family trips, with strong pulling power and sensible fuel use for its age. The Special Edition adds useful equipment, while the Altea’s upright cabin and practical access make it a good fit for parents, couples or anyone carrying passengers and luggage.
Across 116 mycarcheck look-ups covering 45 VINs, examples averaged 129,000 miles, about 6,000 a year, and five previous keepers; average valuation was £900. These figures describe checked examples, not every car. Against Scenic and C-Max rivals, the Altea stands out for its diesel character and compact footprint.
