This 2016 Seat has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 6,978 miles. While it has a clean recent MOT pass, the recurring tyre and suspension issues, coupled with the very low mileage, present significant risks.
The vehicle shows only 6,978 miles over 10 years, a significant anomaly from the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, raising odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 6,978 miles over 10 years (Mar 2026) — high fraud risk.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories (Mar 2025, Mar 2026) — indicates ongoing wear and potential neglect.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Mar 2022, Mar 2026) — pattern of wear suggests poor maintenance.
- Very low annual mileage (1,803 miles/yr) — inconsistent with typical vehicle usage.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until March 2027 — no immediate retest costs.
- No recent major failures — latest MOT pass was clean (Mar 2026).
- Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory —
