Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 April 2025 at 87,195 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior passing test on 17 April 2024 at 67,965 miles also showed a clean sheet. The vehicle carries no outstanding advisories or recorded faults across the available history, indicating consistent mechanical condition for a 13-year-old car. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for the age, averaging roughly 6,700 miles per year against the 87,195 miles recorded. The record shows 54,684 miles at the May 2023 test, 52,258 miles in July 2022, then a jump to 67,965 miles by April 2024, followed by 87,195 miles in April 2025. This reflects a period of low use between 2022 and 2023, then two years of above-average annual mileage. No MOT data exists before July 2022, so early-life care remains undocumented. The April 2024 entry lists both a fail and a pass on the same date at 67,965 miles, yet the record shows no defects recorded for either outcome. Such a same-day reversal with no noted fault typically points to an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical defect, but the buyer should confirm with the test centre that no concealed issue triggered the initial failure. Given the clean MOT trail, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of wear-prone items not always captured by the test. Priority areas include suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion on a 2013 chassis. The lack of advisories does not exempt the car from age-related degradation invisible to the MOT lane.
