2012 SEAT IBIZA1.4L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-06 at 117,190 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2025-06-03 at 117,175 miles resulted in a fail with no recorded defects, suggesting potential retesting after minor corrections. Earlier entries show a pattern of alternating passes and fails at identical mileages in 2024 and 2023, which may reflect administrative errors or repeated minor issues resolved between tests. No structural, braking, or emission failures are documented, implying no critical mechanical risks at present. The vehicle’s mileage of 117,190 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 8,371 miles over 14 years, consistent with typical ownership patterns. A notable gap between the 2023-06-30 test (106,722 miles) and the 2024-06-06 test (112,676 miles) shows a 5,954-mile increase over 12 months, followed by a slower 4,514-mile rise to 117,190 miles by 2025. This suggests reduced usage in recent years, potentially limiting wear on components like tyres and suspension. The absence of corrosion, exhaust, or steering-related defects in the record further supports a clean maintenance history. While no specific mechanical faults are noted, the repeated fails at identical mileages warrant scrutiny of minor systems such as lighting, wiper functionality, or emissions. A physical inspection should focus on suspension bushes, brake disc thickness, and exhaust system integrity, as these components often degrade gradually. The lack of structural rust or major brake issues in the MOT data is reassuring, but the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough check of coil springs, steering linkages, and fluid levels to confirm continued reliability.
