SEAT IBIZA2012 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in July 2024 at 123,159 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has met all safety and emissions standards without the tester needing to flag recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation across consecutive annual tests. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between June 2020 and July 2024, the car covered 60,831 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or sudden strain. The jump of 19,125 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests represents a slight increase in annual usage, but it suggests the car is currently being used regularly, which helps prevent seal drying and seizing in the drivetrain and braking components. While the digital record is devoid of reported faults, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to age-related wear that are not always captured during a MOT. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often perish at 120,000 miles regardless of clean records. Given the age, inspecting the underside for corrosion on the sills and exhaust system is also essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the lack of previous advisories. Testing the brake system for binding calipers or uneven pad wear is prudent to confirm the mechanical health implied by the clean pass history.
