This 2018 Seat has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 29,040 miles. The recent advisories on brakes and tyres indicate immediate maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 29,040 miles over 8 years, averaging 7,872 miles per year, which is in line with UK averages.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre failures on 2023-09-23 (bulges, tear) indicate past neglect.
  • Major suspension failure on 2023-09-23 (ball joint play) suggests underlying wear.
  • Recent advisories on 2025-07-01 for worn tyres and brake discs signal imminent costs.
  • Low annual mileage (7,872 mi/yr) for a 2018 vehicle may suggest limited use or long storage.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-06, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
