2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · AF17 AEM

The 2017 SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 February 2026 at 54,143 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 54,143 miles against roughly nine years of age, equating to about 6,000 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model. The DVSA entries show steady annual accumulation: 38,050 miles in February 2023, 44,499 at the February 2024 tests, 49,964 in February 2025, and 54,143 in February 2026. The only anomaly is a failed test on 8 February 2024 at 44,498 miles immediately followed by a pass at 44,499 miles the same day with no defects listed, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, defect-free record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age. The MOT data flags none of these, but nine years of service can conceal worn trailing arm bushes or surface structural rust not caught in a pass-only test. Prior owners clearly kept the car to a basic annual test standard with no advisories raised on tyres, wipers, or exhaust emissions. That pattern suggests light use rather than hard driving, though the February 2024 duplicate entry warrants a check of the V5C to confirm no undocumented mileage discrepancy exists.
