2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · DC14 AEX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent 2025-05-19 MOT at 105,388 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, the MOT history reveals inconsistent outcomes in 2024 and 2023, including a failed test on 2024-05-21 at 103,489 miles alongside a subsequent pass on the same date. This suggests potential administrative errors or unresolved issues requiring retesting. Despite these anomalies, the absence of recorded defects in the latest test indicates the car has been maintained to meet legal standards. The trend shows stability in recent months, though earlier failures may reflect minor compliance issues rather than structural or mechanical risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 105,388 miles aligns with an average of 8,782 miles annually, consistent with its 12-year age. The 2023-05-08 test at 100,010 miles and the 2024-05-21 test at 103,489 miles show a steady 3,489-mile increase over 12 months, followed by a slower 1,899-mile rise by 2025. This pattern suggests regular use without significant gaps, though the 2024-05-21 dual test entries—both at the same mileage—raise questions about data accuracy. No major wear indicators, such as excessive tyre tread loss or corrosion, are evident from the record, implying routine maintenance. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The rear brakes and exhaust system warrant attention, as these areas often develop issues in older cars. While no specific defects were recorded, the 2023 and 2024 failures—though unspecified—may relate to minor faults like light alignment or emission thresholds. A thorough pre-purchase check should confirm the integrity of the braking system, exhaust, and body corrosion, ensuring no hidden issues were overlooked in the MOT history.
