2015 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · KR65 AAZ

This SEAT Ibiza has maintained a consistent MOT pass history across five consecutive tests, with no defects recorded in any of the most recent examinations. The December 2025 test at 62,663 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the absence of advisories or minor faults suggests either diligent servicing or a vehicle that has not yet developed significant wear. The pattern of annual testing—without fail—indicates compliance with legal requirements, but it does not guarantee the absence of hidden issues. Buyers should note that a clean MOT record does not preclude the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, particularly for components prone to gradual degradation. The recorded mileage of 62,663 miles over approximately 11 years (as of July 2026) reflects an average of around 5,700 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The steady accumulation suggests minimal heavy use, though it also raises questions about prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion or degrade fluid systems. There are no gaps in the MOT history that would imply extended off-roadworthiness, but the lack of advisories in any test does not confirm whether routine maintenance—such as brake fluid changes, suspension servicing, or timing belt inspections—has been consistently performed. The low mileage could imply the vehicle has been stored or driven infrequently, potentially masking underlying issues. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus of a pre-purchase inspection should be on components that degrade predictably with age rather than mileage. The suspension system—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this vintage. The brake system warrants close scrutiny: while no binding calipers or excessive disc wear were flagged in past tests, pads and rotors may have been replaced without record, and fluid contamination or corrosion in the caliper bores could pose a risk. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around the sills, subframe, and exhaust mounts, should be assessed, as prolonged standing can accelerate rust penetration. Finally, the exhaust system’s integrity should be verified, as catalytic converter damage or cracked pipes are often silent failures until they become severe. The absence of advisories does not rule out these areas needing attention.
