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 88% pass rate and 20,498 miles. The consistent low annual mileage is a positive, but the repeated wear items suggest a potentially high-maintenance owner.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 7,308 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Dec 2019, Dec 2020, Dec 2022, Dec 2024) and a major cut failure (Dec 2020).
- Recurring brake disc advisories across 5 tests (Dec 2019, Dec 2020, Dec 2021, Dec 2022, Dec 2023).
- Major tyre cut failures on both front tyres (Dec 2020) after recurring wear advisories.
- Offside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (Dec 2022) and All tyres wearing on inner edge (Dec 2024).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-29, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,308 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No major structural or engine failures recorded in the MOT history.
- Single major failure (tyres, 2020) was immediately rectified and passed retest.
