AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on November 2025 at 115,067 miles. While the history shows intermittent failures, the trend toward zero-defect passes in the last two consecutive annual cycles indicates that once faults are identified, they are successfully rectified prior to retests. The lack of current advisories suggests the vehicle is presently meeting the minimum safety standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle this age, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 17,321 miles, representing a significant spike in usage compared to the 17,305 miles covered in the preceding year. This consistent annual accumulation often correlates with accelerated wear on consumable components such as brake pads and suspension bushings, though the overall mileage remains within expected parameters for a twelve-year-old 2014 model. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that may have triggered the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the records provided do not specify the exact mechanical reasons for those declines. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity along the sills and suspension mounting points is essential to ensure no hidden corrosion has progressed. The buyer should also verify the condition of the rubber suspension arms and the state of the brake calipers, as these are frequent points of failure on SEAT models of this mileage bracket.
