2013 SEAT MII1.0L Petrol

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 16 October 2025 at 38,888 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 2,991 miles per year. Between 13 October 2022 at 34,072 miles and 16 October 2025 at 38,888 miles, the car covered only 4,816 miles over three years. Such low usage often indicates a city car or a secondary vehicle. The record shows a minor anomaly on 1 October 2024, where the car failed and passed on the same day at 37,028 and 37,029 miles respectively, though the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a very rapid rectification of a minor issue. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage and age necessitate a physical check of components that degrade regardless of distance. A buyer should inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots, as rubber perishes over time even if tread remains. The braking system requires scrutiny for seized calipers or pitted discs, which are common in vehicles that spend long periods standing. Check the engine oil and coolant for signs of contamination and verify that the battery holds a strong charge. While the DVSA records show no structural corrosion or suspension wear, a manual inspection of the underbody and suspension bushes is advised to ensure that lack of use has not led to premature drying or cracking of rubber components.
