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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 30,386 miles. The recent major failure for a shock absorber and numerous unresolved advisories from the latest test require immediate attention.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,005 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 2023 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures for lights (2016) and windscreen (2016) indicate reactive maintenance.
  • Brake disc wear and pitting (Nov 2018) and tyre cracking (Nov 2018, 2019, 2021) are persistent advisories.
  • Suspension coil spring wear (2015, 2016, 2017) and shock absorber failure (Jun 2025) point to chronic wear.
  • The 2023 MOT gap suggests the vehicle may have been off-road or not serviced during that period.

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age (8,005 miles/year) suggests average use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2022) confirms high safety standards for this model.
