AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Seat has 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 13,824 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's history suggests a need for thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage averaging 5,197 miles per year, with a significant 10-year gap from registration to first MOT in Dec 2019.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (Dec 2019, Feb 2022, Apr 2026) indicate chronic wear.
- DANGEROUS brake failures in Jan 2021 and Jan 2021, with recurring brake advisories, point to systemic brake issues.
- Major engine MIL failure in Jan 2021, combined with a supplementary restraint system warning lamp fault, raises serious engine and safety concerns.
- Three major failures in Dec 2019 (lights, SRS) and Jan 2021 (brakes, engine MIL, parking brake) suggest a pattern of neglect or poor maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Vehicle has a valid MOT until April 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for this model provides a strong safety foundation.
- The SEAT Arona is a popular and practical choice for city driving and general use.
