2014 SEAT MII 1.0L Petrol · LM64 ABX

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance profile, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 28 July 2026 at 38,488 miles, which recorded no defects. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests with minimal intervention required, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a consistent state of repair. The absence of advisories in the last two years indicates that the car is currently in a good state of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. The records show a steady, incremental increase in distance traveled, moving from 24,735 miles in September 2021 to 38,488 miles in July 2026. This low-use pattern suggests the car has likely been used for short, local trips rather than heavy motorway commuting. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can sometimes lead to issues like seized components or flat spots on tyres if the vehicle sits idle for extended periods, though the MOT data does not explicitly show evidence of such neglect. The recorded faults are limited to minor consumable wear. The 2024 test at 34,059 miles flagged a cut on the offside rear tyre, and the 2021 test noted a nail in the nearside rear tyre. These are standard tyre-related issues that do not indicate a systemic failure in maintenance. A single mechanical advisory appeared in the September 2020 test at 21,136 miles regarding a front brake disc that was worn, pitted, or scored. Since this was followed by clean tests in subsequent years, it is clear the component was replaced or addressed. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. Although the MOT history is clean, the previous mention of pitted brake discs warrants a check for any signs of uneven pad wear or binding calipers. Given the low annual mileage, I would also recommend inspecting rubber components such as suspension bushes and engine mounts for signs of perishing or cracking, which can occur even when a vehicle is driven infrequently.
