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 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 35,870 miles. While mileage is low and consistent, the repeated advisories for tyres and brakes suggest a history of reactive maintenance.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,953 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent period of very low usage (e.g., 342 miles in 2025).
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake pad failure on 2022-08-03 indicates severe neglect of safety-critical components.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (2021, 2022) and major shock absorber leak (2022) point to systemic wear.
- Major emissions failures in 2024 and 2025 suggest ongoing engine management system issues.
- Consistent tyre advisories (2021, 2022) and suspension arm wear (2022) indicate a pattern of deferred maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-17 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,953 miles/year) suggests light use and potential longevity.
