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

This 2012 Seat has 20 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 24,193 miles. The vehicle's mileage has also been suspiciously low for its age, raising significant red flags for a buyer.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 24,193 miles over 14 years, with a critical drop to only 518 miles in the last 2 years before the April 2026 MOT.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY: 7 failures and 15 tests indicate a deeply troubled vehicle with persistent, recurring issues.
  • MILEAGE ANOMALY: Recorded only 24,193 miles in 14 years, then a suspiciously low 518 miles in the last 2 years.
  • DANGEROUS DEFECTS: Multiple DANGEROUS tyre failures (May 2018, May 2022) and MAJOR brake failures (May 2018, May 2022) are severe.
  • RECURRING ADVISORIES: Suspension arm wear (9 tests), brake disc wear (10 tests), and tyre wear (9 tests) show systemic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • MOT VALID: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until April 2027, indicating it is roadworthy now.
  • Euro NCAP: 5-star safety rating (2022) suggests good inherent safety features for a 2012 SEAT.
  • No Odometer Fraud: While mileage is suspiciously low, there is no evidence of deliberate odometer manipulation.
  • Consistent Retests: All failures were immediately rectified and retested, showing responsive ownership despite the issues.
