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

This 2014 Seat has 18 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 12,337 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a high number of advisories and failures, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows very low annual mileage of 5,248 miles per year, averaging only 12,337 miles over 12 years, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • 2014 SEAT with 8 failures and 8 passes across 16 MOT tests (Mar 2019–Mar 2026).
  • Dangerous defects recorded for tyres (Mar 2019, Mar 2021) and suspension (Mar 2023).
  • Recurring major failures in brakes (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2024) and suspension (Mar 2023, Mar 2024, Mar 2025).
  • Consistent pattern of tyre wear advisories escalating to dangerous failures (Mar 2019–Mar 2026).

Working in its favour

  • MOT valid until 2027-03-29, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud detected in the provided MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) suggests good inherent safety features.
