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 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 16,407 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the pattern of repeated failures and advisories indicates significant wear and potential neglect.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 6,893 miles/year, with a notable dip in 2021 (1,488 miles) and a subsequent spike in 2022 (15,589 miles), suggesting inconsistent driving patterns.

Things to check

  • Seven major failures across 16 MOT tests (Jan 2020, Jan 2021, May 2021, Jun 2023, Jun 2024, May 2025) indicate persistent mechanical issues.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Dec 2018, Jun 2023, May 2025, Apr 2026) and suspension advisories (Apr 2026) suggest chronic wear and neglect.
  • The 2019 MOT gap is a significant concern, as it may indicate periods of off-road use or unrecorded history.
  • Multiple advisories for the same component (e.g., tyres, brakes, suspension) across different years point to a reactive maintenance approach.

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a valid MOT until April 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Mileage is low for its age, averaging 6,893 miles/year, which can be beneficial for insurance and fuel efficiency.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle consistently passed retests after failures, indicating issues were addressed to meet safety standards.
