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 4,921 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 15-year-old car, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 4,921 miles over 15 years, averaging only 4,759 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded on 2015-07-01 and 2014-07-02, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring brake pad wear advisories on 2020-10-01, 2021-10-01, and 2022-11-01, suggesting chronic maintenance issues.
  • The vehicle's extremely low mileage (4,921 miles in 15 years) for a 2011 car is a major red flag for potential long-term storage or neglect.
  • Multiple recurring advisories for suspension, exhaust, and seatbelt components across various MOT tests.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until 2026-12-18, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, suggesting good structural integrity for its age.
