AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2014 Seat has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 28,009 miles. While mileage is low and consistent, the repeated nature of these issues suggests ongoing maintenance needs.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,238 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring brake failures and advisories across 5 tests (Feb 2020, Feb 2023, Feb 2024, Mar 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring lighting failures and advisories across 4 tests (Feb 2020, Feb 2023, Feb 2024, Mar 2025) suggest electrical issues.
- Recurring tyre and emissions advisories across 6 tests (Feb 2020, Feb 2023, Feb 2024, Mar 2025) point to ongoing component wear.
- The 2014 SEAT has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, but this is overshadowed by the extensive MOT history of failures and advisories.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,238 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
