2011 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · D26 TEE

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 89,986 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from 2022 onward resulting in a pass and no advisories logged. A failed entry on 9 October 2025 at the same mileage shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the pass issued the same day confirms the car cleared inspection. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 2011 registered car. The record shows 58,410 miles at the 28 October 2022 test, rising to 66,580 by 1 November 2023, then 83,503 on 12 October 2024, and 89,986 on 9 October 2025. Annual accumulation averaged roughly 6,000 miles, consistent with the lifetime mean of 5,999. No prolonged gaps appear between tests; the owner maintained continuous annual MOT compliance. Low mileage of this order often signals short urban journeys or periods of storage, which can encourage corrosion and flat-spotting of tyres despite low wear on drivetrain parts. The clean advisory history gives no specific mechanical faults to pursue. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's fifteen years. Standing time implied by low mileage raises risk of underseal breakdown and structural rust on sills or subframes. Verify the 2025 failure lacked a recorded reason through DVSA channels, as the duplicate same-day entry warrants confirmation it was clerical. Given no recurring defects or consumable warnings across five tests, previous ownership appears disciplined on statutory upkeep. Physical checks should prioritise tyre sidewall condition, brake caliper freedom after storage, and exhaust emissions under cold start, none of which the MOT trail disputes but all of which low-mileage age can disguise.
