This 2016 Seat has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 19,597 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high annual usage and repeated advisories for the same components indicate significant wear and potential future costs.
The vehicle exhibits high annual usage, averaging 13,431 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, with consistent readings from 19,597 miles in April 2019 to 131,850 miles in October 2025.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2024): Rear Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick both (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2024-10-25 (test 115,876 mi) — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring brake pad wear (Oct 2020 advisory) escalated to DANGEROUS failure (Oct 2024).
- Recurring shock absorber leaks (Oct 2021 advisory, Oct 2022 major failure).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-28, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No outstanding recalls or dangerous defects currently present on the MOT record.
