2007 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · PJ57 AEB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-29 at 85,726 miles showed no defects, confirming a stable roadworthiness trend. Previous tests from 2024-09-03 and 2023-09-04 also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2024-09-02 at the same mileage as the subsequent pass raises questions about potential data inconsistencies. No recurring mechanical or structural faults were recorded, suggesting the car has been maintained to a satisfactory standard. The mileage of 85,726 miles over 19 years equates to an average of 4,512 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, tyres, and suspension. The MOT record shows no gaps in testing beyond standard annual intervals, with the most recent test occurring 11 months ago. The absence of defects in the last three consecutive tests indicates consistent compliance with safety standards. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as low mileage can mask hidden issues from inactivity. The failed 2024 test, though unexplained, warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s emissions system and electrical components. No structural corrosion or binding calipers were flagged, but the lack of detailed defect reports means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
