2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Diesel · CY66 AED

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-12 at 65,527 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, a failed test on 2025-03-29 at 56,520 miles—despite no recorded defects—suggests potential inconsistencies in prior servicing. Subsequent tests from 2024-04-02 to 2026-04-12 consistently passed, with no recurring issues flagged. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the latest report implies the car remains roadworthy, but the unexplained failure in 2025 raises questions about the reliability of its maintenance history. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,281 miles annually. Notable gaps include 1,127 miles recorded between 2022-12-19 (47,752 miles) and 2024-04-02 (51,029 miles), followed by a rapid 5,491-mile increase by 2025-03-29. This pattern suggests periods of intermittent use or potential neglect, though no specific faults were noted. The clean record post-2024-04-02 indicates improved compliance, but the 2025 failure remains unexplained. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. The rear brakes and exhaust system warrant scrutiny, as these areas often develop issues in older models. Visual checks for corrosion on underbody panels and structural integrity around the chassis are also advised. While the MOT data shows no immediate risks, the 2025 failure highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical condition.
