AI verdict BUY 77/100

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 87% pass rate and 35,631 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the vehicle's overall condition is suitable for purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,668 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes in the MOT records.

Things to check

  • Low annual mileage (5,668 mi/yr) for a 15-year-old car suggests limited use and potential for age-related wear.
  • One major failure for excessively binding offside rear service brake (Mar 2023) and one for offside front anti-roll bar linkage (Mar 2023) indicate past wear items needing attention.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
  • Strong MOT record with 8 passes out of 10 tests, demonstrating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
  • No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history, ensuring the car has always been roadworthy.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,668 mi/yr) suggests a well-preserved vehicle with minimal wear-and-tear issues.
