2014 SEAT IBIZA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on February 12 2026 at 54,902 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable as the car has consistently achieved passes without recorded defects over the last three years. While the record shows immediate failures preceding the passes in 2025 and 2026, the lack of advisory notes suggests that issues were rectified promptly prior to re-tests. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,575 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 34,914 miles and February 2025 at 43,939 miles, the car covered 9,025 miles, with another 10,963 miles recorded in the year leading to the 2026 test. This consistent low-usage pattern reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can increase the risk of rubber-based degradation and brake corrosion if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on components prone to age in low-mileage cars. The buyer must check for perished brake hoses, seized caliper sliders resulting from infrequent use, and pitting on brake discs. Inspect the suspension bushes and control arm mounts for cracking or tearing as these materials degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Since the MOT history shows no structural corrosion, a visual check of the underbody for emerging surface rust is necessary to ensure the integrity of the chassis remains sound as the records suggest.
