This 2018 Seat has 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 41,289 miles. The repeated suspension issues, despite recent passes, indicate a history of neglect or poor maintenance.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 13,768 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
Things to check
- Recurring shock absorber failures (2023, 2024, 2025) indicate a systemic suspension weakness.
- High annual mileage (13,768 mi/yr) suggests more wear and tear on components.
- Oct 2025 MOT failure for a serious fluid leak in the Nearside Rear Shock absorbers.
- Oct 2025 MOT failure for a serious fluid leak in the Offside Front Shock absorbers.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
- Recent MOT passes (Oct 2023, Oct 2024) after addressing failures.
