This 2009 Seat has 23 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 29,882 miles. The mileage trajectory shows a significant anomaly, indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b)) — Sep 2025 FAIL.
  • Recurring Suspension failures: 6 major failures across 13 tests, including fractured coil springs and corroded subframe.
  • Recurring Brake failures: 4 major failures across 13 tests, including excessively fluctuating brakes and slow handbrake.
  • Unusually high mileage jump: 22,418 miles/year equivalent before Jan 2018, strongly suggesting potential odometer fraud.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the Sep 2025 retest.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2018, averaging 6,477 miles/year.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) for a 2009 model is excellent.
