2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · J31 HJD

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 62,721 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only anomaly is a failed test on 7 September 2023 at 47,246 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at the same mileage, which suggests an administrative or data-entry error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression shows light, consistent use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record runs 38,378 miles on 7 September 2022, 47,246 miles on 7 September 2023, 55,579 miles on 27 August 2024, and 62,721 miles on 4 September 2025. This equates to roughly 7,000 to 8,300 miles per year, below the national average and indicating gentle annual accumulation with no sudden gaps or rapid spikes. The clean advisory history across all entries implies the previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion does not confirm their condition, only that they met minimum thresholds on test days. Given the car's age, we would examine subframe and sill integrity for incipient rust, check the rear suspension for worn bushes, and measure brake disc wear against manufacturer limits. The duplicate 7 September 2023 entries warrant a DVSA history check to confirm no suppressed failure detail exists. Otherwise, the documentary evidence supports a low-risk purchase subject to standard pre-sale mechanical appraisal.
