2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · DE64 ABK

The SEAT Ibiza remains roadworthy, with the latest DVSA examination on 30 September 2025 at 67,400 miles recording a pass and no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the supplied history. Earlier, on 26 September 2023 at 59,629 miles, the tester issued a failure yet listed no defects, with a pass logged the same day; this points to an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or recurring problems appear in any test from 27 September 2022 through to 2025. Mileage accumulation is low for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record shows 54,444 miles at the 27 September 2022 test, rising to 59,629 by 26 September 2023, then 63,777 at 24 September 2024, and 67,400 at 30 September 2025. Annual increases of roughly 3,600 to 5,200 miles confirm gentle use, around 5,600 miles per year overall. The history is sparse but unblemished, with annual tests completed on schedule and no gaps exceeding twelve months. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components that MOT entries did not flag. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, and inspect brake discs and calipers for static corrosion after periods of little use. Check structural areas such as sills and subframes for incipient rust, and assess tyre sidewalls for cracking from prolonged standing. The clean record does not negate the effects of low-mileage storage on rubber and metal components. Previous owners appear to have maintained statutory compliance, as evidenced by consecutive passes with no recorded defects. That pattern suggests basic upkeep rather than neglected consumables, though the absence of advisories means wear on items like wiper blades or brake pads went unremarked. Given the low yearly distance, a thorough pre-purchase check of drivetrain seals and exhaust emissions remains prudent.
