This 2002 Seat has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 27,623 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 'Not valid' MOT status, demands thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,971 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 2,231 miles between Feb 2013 and Mar 2014).
Things to check
