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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 24,171 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues suggest ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 11,035 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent normal usage of 10,132 miles/year.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Jun 2019, Nov 2021, Nov 2021, Dec 2022) and major failures (Dec 2023) indicate a chronic issue.
  • Multiple tyre advisories (May 2015, May 2017, Dec 2022) and a DANGEROUS defect (May 2015) point to a history of poor tyre maintenance.
  • Exhaust system insecurity (Dec 2022) and a major failure (Dec 2024) suggest ongoing issues with the exhaust.
  • Four major light failures (Dec 2022, Dec 2023, Dec 2024) and a major suspension failure (Dec 2024) highlight a pattern of neglect.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-12-15, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,035 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2022) provides a high level of safety assurance for occupants.
