AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Seat has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 27,859 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring advisories on critical safety and wear items, including tyres and suspension, indicates a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 8,718 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2025.
Things to check
- Recurring advisories on tyres (flagged Apr 2019, Oct 2021, Oct 2025) and suspension components (Oct 2025) signal ongoing wear.
- Major failure for Offside Rear Rear reflector (Oct 2021) and multiple light-related advisories (Oct 2021, 2025) point to electrical neglect.
- Brake and suspension advisories (Oct 2025) are recurring, indicating a pattern of deferred maintenance.
- The Oct 2025 failure for Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (3mm tread) after 10 years of advisories is a critical safety concern.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage averaging 8,718 miles/year suggests regular, light use.
