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

This 2011 Seat has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 70,240 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,505 miles/year, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 6,952 miles from Sep 2021 to Sep 2022).

Things to check

  • High mileage (181,382 mi) for a 2011 vehicle indicates significant wear and tear.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Sep 2020, Jun 2025) and hose failures (Sep 2020, Jun 2025) point to ongoing brake system issues.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Aug 2018, Sep 2021, Jun 2025) and failures (Jun 2025) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
  • Service gap in 2024 (no MOT recorded) raises questions about the vehicle's maintenance history during that period.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until June 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and potentially lower overall wear on certain components.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are evident in the MOT history.
  • The car has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating good safety features for its age.
