2018 SEAT Ibiza 1.5L Petrol · BD18 ABZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-01 at 51,053 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-11-01 and 2023-10-27 also passed without issues, though a failed test on the same date as a pass in 2024 raises questions about data accuracy. No structural, braking, or suspension defects were flagged in the last three years, suggesting consistent upkeep. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the latest records implies the car remains roadworthy, though minor wear may require closer inspection. Mileage progression shows steady annual growth of ~6,382 miles, aligning with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. The 2022-11-04 test at 22,991 miles and 2023-10-27 test at 32,208 miles reveal a 9,217-mile increase over 11 months, followed by a 10,520-mile rise to 42,728 by 2024-11-01. These intervals suggest regular driving but no rapid accumulation. The 2025-11-01 test at 51,053 miles confirms a consistent pattern, with no evidence of excessive wear on consumables or major components. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these are common wear points in older vehicles. The absence of corrosion reports in the MOT history is positive, but visual checks for rust on underbody panels and wheel arches are advised. The rear brakes, which can develop binding issues, and the exhaust system, prone to leaks, warrant scrutiny. While the MOT record shows no critical faults, the 2024 failure entry—despite no defects listed—suggests potential inconsistencies in testing, necessitating a pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity.
