2021 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · EK21 ABO

The 2021 SEAT Ibiza stands roadworthy with a stable maintenance trajectory, confirmed by the 23 May 2025 MOT at 21,454 miles which passed with no defects recorded. The preceding 22 May 2024 examination at 19,232 miles logged a failure with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass the same day under identical mileage and zero advisories. This pattern shows no worsening mechanical trend and suggests any rejection was administrative rather than structural. Recorded mileage rose from 19,232 on 22 May 2024 to 21,454 by 23 May 2025, a 2,222-mile annual increment that aligns with the vehicle's low lifetime average near 4,291 miles per year. Five years of light use imply gentle wear on drivetrain and consumables but potential for prolonged standing. The MOT history is sparse, covering only two test dates, yet free of faults on suspension, brakes, corrosion or emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on components vulnerable to low-use deterioration. The tester should probe suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing rubber, and spin wheels to detect binding calipers after likely idle periods. Examine brake discs for surface rust pitting and tyres for sidewall cracking despite adequate tread. Verify the precise cause of the 22 May 2024 failure through DVSA records, as the nil-defect entry obscures the rationale. Overall the Ibiza shows diligent upkeep with no recurring faults, though stationary storage demands scrutiny of flexible mechanical parts.
