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

This 2010 Seat has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 30,967 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with critical safety components warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage, averaging 8,175 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though recent years show lower usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in suspension (coil spring, anti-roll bar link, suspension arm) across multiple tests.
  • Persistent exhaust system advisories and failures from Jan 2019 to Oct 2025.
  • Dangerous tyre defects (Jan 2020) and steering fault (Jan 2019) indicate past neglect.
  • Wheel bearing advisory (Jan 2019) escalated to major failure (Oct 2022).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until October 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,175 miles/year, no fraud detected.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
