AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Seat has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 26,157 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated nature of these issues suggests a history of reactive maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,837 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious drops or spikes, including a recent spike to 20,023 miles in the last year.
Things to check
- Recurring shock absorber leaks (Feb 2022 advisory, Mar 2023 major failure) indicate a systemic issue.
- Recurring tyre damage (Feb 2022 advisory, Mar 2023 major failure) points to a history of poor maintenance.
- Recurring brake pad wear (Feb 2022 advisory, Mar 2023 major failure) suggests a pattern of neglect.
- The single MOT failure in March 2023, followed by a retest pass the next day, is a 'just passed MOT' red flag.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,837 miles/year, well below UK average of 8,000.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- All major failures and recurring advisories were addressed and passed subsequent MOTs.
