2011 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · JV07 CAV

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass in April 2025 at 104,673 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently cleared the testing process after addressing previous failures. While the history shows failures in late 2023 and late2024, the immediate follow-up passes with no recorded defects suggest the previous owner was proactive in rectifying faults rather than allowing them to accumulate into mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. A significant gap of 10,262 miles occurred between November 2023 and April 2025, while the more recent interval saw 1,143 miles covered between November 2024 and April 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber components, seals, and brake systems to prevent the corrosion and seizing issues often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to suffer at this mileage bracket, despite the lack of recent advisories. Given the vehicle's age, a close look at the structural integrity of the rear sills and wheel mounting points is necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion is developing. The record does not highlight recurring suspension issues, but a tester should check for worn bushes in the control arms and signs of leaking shock absorbers. Testing the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers will confirm if the clean result from April 2025 reflects the current mechanical state of the braking system.
