2011 SEAT IBIZA2.0L Diesel

This vehicle presents as mechanically stable and roadworthy based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 3 January 2026 at 80,435 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last four years, indicating a vehicle that is maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements. The mileage is notably low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 5,362 miles per year. The distance covered between 26 October 2022 at 67,321 miles and 4 January 2024 at 74,542 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 7,200 miles over fourteen months. More recent usage has slowed slightly, with only 1,316 miles added between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests. The absence of any recorded advisories or failures regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions is unusual for a fifteen year old car. While the record is clean, the low annual mileage suggests the vehicle may have spent periods standing. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for age-related cracking and check for any signs of brake caliper binding or perished rubber seals that often occur when a car is under-utilised. Given the age of the chassis, a manual inspection for structural corrosion is recommended, as MOT testers do not always flag early-stage surface rust that has not yet compromised structural integrity. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 2 January 2025, but the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a very minor rectification. Focus your physical inspection on fluid leaks and battery health to ensure the low usage has not led to dormant mechanical degradation.
