2011 SEAT IBIZA1.2L Diesel

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available MOT data. The most recent test on 21 July 2025 resulted in a pass at 137,828 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting a vehicle that is maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 9,189 miles per year. The distance covered between the July 2023 test at 114,931 miles and the July 2024 test at 126,753 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 11,800 miles annually. A similar trend continued into 2025, with the odometer reaching 137,828 miles. These figures indicate the car has been in regular use rather than sitting idle, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of advisories or failures across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 records is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the data suggests a well-kept car, the lack of any flagged wear on consumables like brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes is atypical for a 15-year-old SEAT Ibiza. A buyer should physically inspect the underside for chassis corrosion and check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these critical maintenance items are not captured in a standard MOT test. Given the high mileage, a manual check of the clutch biting point and gear synchronisation is recommended. The tester did not flag any issues, but mechanical wear on the drivetrain is inevitable at 137,000 miles. Verifying that the oil and coolant are clean will confirm if the previous owner adhered to a strict service schedule beyond the basic annual roadworthiness checks.
