AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2002 Seat has 23 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 26,688 miles. The vehicle's mileage is also highly suspicious, showing extremely low usage for many years, which is a significant red flag for a 24-year-old car.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 4,263 miles per year, with a critical 6-year gap (Oct 2018-Jan 2025) where no MOT tests were recorded, indicating unverified mileage.
Things to check
- Repeated major failures for structural corrosion (Jan 2025, Jan 2026) and suspension (Jan 2026).
- Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Jan 2025 (31 mi/yr equivalent) and Jan 2026 (392 mi/yr equivalent).
- Long 6-year MOT history gap (Oct 2018-Jan 2025) with unverified mileage.
- Recurring brake disc wear (Jan 2025, Jan 2026) and coil spring damage (Jan 2025, Jan 2026).
Working in its favour
- Current valid MOT until May 2027, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, suggesting good crashworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories for the most critical systems (e.g., no recent brake failures).
