AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Seat has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 40,025 miles.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,201 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (coil springs, anti-roll bar linkages) across multiple tests.
- Persistent brake system advisories (pads, discs) since 2018, escalating to failures.
- Recent major failure for offside front coil spring on 2025-09-26, indicating ongoing wear.
- Brake disc wear noted on 2012-09-13 and 2025-09-26, a 13-year unresolved advisory.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-26, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,201 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
