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

This 2015 Seat has 16 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 34,886 miles. While mileage is consistent, the extensive history of wear items and a recent DANGEROUS tyre defect warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,148 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual usage has fluctuated between 5,000 and 14,000 miles.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures/advisories across 9 tests (Apr 2023, May 2024, Jun 2025, May 2026) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Multiple suspension component failures (May 2022, May 2024) and advisories (Jun 2019, Jun 2020) suggest ongoing structural wear.
  • Brake system failures (May 2022, May 2024) and 10 related advisories (Jun 2019, Jun 2020) point to a history of poor maintenance.
  • A DANGEROUS tyre defect (Jun 2020) and numerous subsequent tyre advisories (May 2024, Jun 2025, May 2026) highlight a persistent safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until June 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, suggesting genuine usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
