2012 SEAT MII 1.0L Petrol · OY62 NVN

The 2012 SEAT MII presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean pass on 18 December 2025 at 44,417 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the strongest indicator in the file. Prior to that, the vehicle had accumulated minor advisories across three consecutive tests between January 2024 and January 2025, all relating to tyre condition rather than structural or mechanical failure. The absence of any defects in the most recent test suggests those tyre issues were addressed promptly, and the car is currently in sound roadworthy order with no outstanding advisories. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of this age. At 44,417 miles over approximately fourteen years, the annual average sits at roughly 3,173 miles. The progression is steady and unremarkable: 31,978 miles recorded on 13 January 2022, rising to 35,154 miles by 13 January 2023, then 38,563 miles on 8 January 2024, 41,503 miles on 15 January 2025, and finally 44,417 miles on 18 December 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation. The vehicle appears to have been used consistently for short, low-speed journeys rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Tyre wear is the only recurring theme in the MOT record. The January 2024 test flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and wearing on the edges, along with a perishing offside rear tyre. The January 2025 test noted a slightly damaged or perishing nearside rear tyre. Edge wear on the front tyres can point to tracking or alignment issues, or simply to the demands of urban driving on a small city car. A prospective buyer should inspect the current tyre condition carefully, checking for uneven tread wear patterns that could indicate misalignment or worn suspension bushes. Given the vehicle's low-mileage, short-trip usage profile, it would also be prudent to examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, which can develop when a car is used infrequently and may not always trigger an MOT advisory until it becomes severe. The underside should be checked for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods can develop localised rust that is not always visible from a cursory glance.
