This 2018 Seat has 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 55,531 miles. The vehicle's high mileage and recurring seatbelt issues further complicate its history.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 15,629 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable spike in 2023 (+24,198 miles in 12 months).
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2026-05-22 — immediate safety risk.
- High annual mileage (15,629 mi/yr) indicates heavy wear and tear.
- Recurring seatbelt buckle failures (2023-03-29, 2024-05-22) suggest poor maintenance.
- Multiple major failures (windscreen wipers, 2023-03-29, 2024-05-22) point to neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-28, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2022) confirms high safety standards.
