2015 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · KJ15 AED

This SEAT Ibiza has maintained an exceptionally clean MOT record over the past four annual tests, with the most recent inspection on 10 June 2025 at 57,220 miles showing no defects or advisories. The trend is stable, with consistent passes and no signs of recurring mechanical issues, structural corrosion, or safety-critical wear. The absence of even minor advisories—such as tyre tread depth, brake pad thickness, or suspension component wear—suggests either meticulous upkeep or very light usage. For a vehicle of this age and mileage, such a pristine history is unusual and implies either a well-funded owner or a car kept primarily for short, low-stress journeys. The mileage accumulation is notably low, averaging just over 5,200 miles per year since 2015, which is well below the UK average for a vehicle of this age. Between the 2022 and 2025 tests, the car covered just 9,604 miles in three years—a pace that could indicate infrequent use, storage periods, or even potential odometer irregularities. The regular annual testing intervals also suggest the vehicle has remained in active circulation, rather than lying dormant for extended periods. Such low mileage reduces wear on drivetrain components, tyres, and brakes, but it does not eliminate the need for proactive checks on seals, fluids, and suspension integrity, as these can degrade over time even with minimal use. Given the complete absence of recorded faults, a buyer should still prioritise a thorough pre-purchase inspection, particularly focusing on components not routinely checked in MOTs. Pay close attention to the suspension—specifically the condition of coil springs, anti-roll bars, and rubber bushes—since these are prone to silent degradation even on low-mileage vehicles. Check for any signs of binding in the rear brakes, as this was a common issue in earlier Ibiza models, and verify the operation of all hydraulic systems for leaks or stiffness. Structural corrosion, though not flagged in the MOTs, should be inspected under the sills, wheel arches, and rear trailing arms, as rust can develop in hidden areas regardless of mileage. Finally, confirm the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive surface rust, and ensure all fluid levels—brakes, coolant, and power steering—are topped up and free of contamination.
