AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2009 Seat has 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 23,439 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and repeated issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 7,449 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 7 tests (e.g., Aug 2020, Aug 2021) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Brake system advisories (Aug 2018, Aug 2024) and shock absorber leaks (Aug 2022, Aug 2023) show a pattern of deferred maintenance.
  • The 2013-07-19 test failed due to a dangerous cut in the nearside rear tyre, a critical safety defect.
  • The 2012-07-09 test failed due to headlamp aim issues, a common but easily fixable problem.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-12, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,449 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2022) indicates a strong safety foundation for its age.
