The SEAT ALTEA (2009-15) 5DR MPV 1.2 TSI SS 105 EU5 SE COPA 6SPD is a compact five-door people carrier, offering a taller, roomier alternative to a conventional family hatchback without the bulk of a large MPV. In the UK used-car market, it suits buyers wanting practical space at an approachable price. The 1.2-litre petrol engine and six-speed manual make this Altea a sensible choice for commuting, school runs and weekend errands; its upright cabin and flexible seating make family life easier. SE Copa trim adds appealing equipment, while the Altea’s footprint helps it feel less cumbersome around town than many larger people carriers. Compared with rivals such as the Vauxhall Zafira and Ford C-MAX, it is a straightforward, practical alternative. mycarcheck.com has one recorded check for this exact version, so its figures are indicative only: average private-sale value £2,900, mileage 73,000, annual use 7,000 miles and four previous keepers.
