As I have said before on this subject, the Cerato is a parts-bin car. It shares a platform, suspension parts, engines, transmissions, electrics and even one or two body parts with cars like the Hyundai Elantra, Tucson, Coupe, and Kia Sportage. The automatics have Mitsubishi transmissions, so you can add a pile of other cars to that list as well.
As such, I'd be very surprised indeed if mechanical parts caused any problems. Between them these cars sold in quite healthy numbers in the UK over several years (the Elantra dates back to 2000).
The Cerato sold more than the Altea in this country. If you were buying the Seat would you be asking this question?
