AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Seat has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 36,196 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, presents a mixed picture requiring thorough investigation.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,465 miles/year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 3,257 miles in 2023) that warrants clarification.
Things to check
- Recurring brake system failures and advisories across 4 tests (Oct 2019, Sep 2021, Sep 2022, Oct 2023).
- Multiple tyre failures and advisories (Sep 2022, Sep 2022, Sep 2022, Sep 2022, Sep 2022, Sep 2022, Sep 2022, Sep 2022, Sep 2022, Sep 2022, Sep 2022, Sep 2022, Sep 2022, Sep 2022, Sep 2022…
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
