AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2006 Seat has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 72,130 miles. The vehicle's high mileage and recurring suspension issues, combined with a 56,779-mile mileage decrease, make it an extremely high-risk purchase.

A critical mileage anomaly exists: 204,475 miles (Mar 2014) decreased to 142,542 miles (Feb 2015), and a 56,779-mile decrease occurred between Feb 2011 retests, indicating possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Mar 2014 (204,475 mi) and Feb 2015 (142,542 mi) — possible odometer tamper
  • Mileage decreased 56,779 miles between Feb 2011 retests and 61,933 miles between Mar 2014 and Feb 2015.
  • Recurring suspension failures (Mar 2014, Feb 2017) and advisories (Feb 2011, Mar 2012) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Multiple major failures for tyres (Feb 2017), lights (Mar 2014), and brakes (Feb 2017) show widespread system degradation.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2022): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • No specific positive MOT findings are present in the provided data for this 2006 SEAT.
