2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · MC11 SCO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 25 February 2026 at 102 311 miles, receiving only minor advisories: front brake disc wear within tolerance (1.1.14 (a)(i)), front suspension arm pin or bush wear without excessive movement (5.3.4 (a)(i)) and a non‑excessive oil leak (8.4.1 (a)(i)). The roadworthiness status is therefore acceptable, with the maintenance trend showing improvement after a series of failures in late 2024 and early 2025. Those earlier defects—headlamp aim, track‑rod end play, emissions failure, parking‑brake inoperability and brake binding—have been remedied, leaving only routine wear items flagged. Mileage accumulation remains broadly in line with the vehicle’s age. Over roughly twelve years the car has logged 102 311 miles, averaging about 8 500 miles per year, which is typical for a 2014 model. The record shows a cluster of tests in late 2024 and early 2025, suggesting remedial work was undertaken promptly, and the recent three‑month interval from 98 592 miles (17 November 2025) to 102 311 miles (25 February 2026) reflects a higher short‑term usage rate but still within normal operating parameters for a vehicle of this mileage. A buyer should inspect the front brake discs for wear indicators, examine the suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, and trace the oil leak to its source. Verify headlamp aim and track‑rod end condition, and ensure the throttle speed‑control system operates without fault. Check rear stop‑lamp intensity, tyre tread depth and condition on both rear wheels, and test the parking‑brake engagement on each side. Examine the steering rack inner joints for play, confirm the rear shock absorbers are free of oil mist, and assess the service‑brake for binding. These checks will confirm that the minor advisories have been addressed and that no hidden deterioration has emerged since the last MOT.
