This 2012 Seat has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 45,745 miles.
The vehicle shows high and consistent annual mileage averaging 12,420 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating regular use.
Things to check
- Recurring advisories on brakes (8 flags) and steering (3 flags) across multiple tests indicate chronic wear.
- Engine MIL advisory on 2019-11-16 escalated to a MAJOR failure on 2022-10-22, suggesting a persistent engine management light issue.
- High annual mileage (12,420 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) will accelerate wear on all components.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-15 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent high mileage (12,420 mi/yr) suggests regular use and maintenance, not long periods of inactivity.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
