2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.6L Diesel · DE64 AAY

The Seat Ibiza presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 26 September 2025 at 124,567 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across the available history. Prior to that pass, the test on 22 September 2025 at 124,562 miles returned a failure yet listed no defects, and a similar same-day fail then pass pattern occurred on 20 September 2023 at 102,504 miles. Such repeats suggest procedural anomalies rather than worsening mechanical condition. Mileage accumulation tracks typical use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record shows 102,504 miles in September 2023, rising to 115,659 miles by September 2024, an annual gain of 13,155 miles, and then to 124,567 miles by September 2025, an annual gain of 8,908 miles. That equates to roughly 10,381 miles per year overall, within normal bounds. The data is sparse but clean: five tests over three years, no gaps beyond the standard annual cycle, and no rapid accumulation that would flag excessive drivetrain stress. No recurring faults or structural concerns appear in the official entries, so the buyer faces no flagged suspension bushes, binding calipers, or corrosion issues. Still, at 124,567 miles the vehicle sits beyond its tenth year, and unseen wear on consumable items remains probable. A physical inspection should scrutinise brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and underbody structural integrity for rust, as these components evade the bare pass/fail log when within limits. The dual fail with no defect entries imply previous owners cleared administrative hurdles rather than repaired mechanical faults, indicating basic care but not deep intervention. Prospective purchasers should commission an independent mechanical appraisal to confirm suspension and exhaust emissions health before transaction.
