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

This 2002 Seat has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 20,564 miles. The extremely low mileage of 20,564 miles over 24 years, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, presents a significant contradiction that requires immediate clarification.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 20,564 miles over 24 years, with a significant anomaly of only 127 miles covered between the April 2010 failure and subsequent pass.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2012-05-04 — 12 years past due date.
  • Mileage is critically low at 20,564 miles over 24 years, well below UK average.
  • Mileage trajectory shows only 127 miles covered between April 2010 failure and subsequent pass.
  • Two major suspension failures (April 2008) and one major brake failure (April 2010) are concerning.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2022) indicates high safety standards for its age.
  • No recurring failures on the same system are evident from the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history since its first MOT in 2006.
