AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Seat has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 16,342 miles.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 6,265 miles/year, averaging 49,874 miles in 2020 and 81,564 miles in 2025, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures (Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2025) and advisories (Feb 2023, Feb 2024) indicate a history of poor maintenance.
- Offside Headlamp lens seriously defective (Feb 2025) and Offside Headlamp aim incorrect (Feb 2025) show a recurring lighting issue.
- The 2017-03-23 MOT advisory for 'Nail in nearside rear tyre' and 'Under-trays fitted obscuring some underside components' suggests a lack of thorough pre-MOT checks.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-02-25, providing peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, normal mileage of 6,265 miles/year suggests a well-maintained vehicle for its age.
