2012 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · MO10 ABS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent inspection in February 2026. Although the record shows an initial failure on that same date at 131,946 miles, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that any identified issues were rectified immediately before the re-test. Since 2023, the car has maintained a clean record of passing tests, suggesting a consistent level of mechanical oversight and preventative maintenance over the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per annum. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the car covered 12,131 miles, while the following year saw a slight decrease to 8,170 miles. The steady accumulation toward the 131,946 mile mark over 14 years suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for preventing the degradation of rubber components and internal seals. Given the lack of advisory notes in recent years, a buyer should still focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas associated with the 130,000-mile threshold. Specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often wear out at this mileage. Check the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning and inspect the structural integrity of the exhaust system for deep corrosion, as the MOT does not always capture the thinning of these components until they reach a failure point.
