2017 SEAT IBIZA1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 March 2026 at 37,059 miles resulted in no defects, mirroring the outcomes of the previous four annual tests. This trend indicates a stable maintenance regime where the vehicle has consistently met UK safety and emissions standards without recorded mechanical or structural failures over the years. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,118 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 21,406 miles and the March 2026 test at 37,059 miles, the car covered 15,653 miles. This low usage typically suggests less wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it also raises the possibility of rubber degradation or brake corrosion from periods of inactivity. The intervals between tests remain regular, showing the vehicle has been used on a predictable schedule rather than being left stationary for long-term storage. Because the MOT record shows no advisories or recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. A buyer should check for flat spotting on tyres or signs of brake disc pitting, which can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. The suspension should also be examined for cracking in rubber components and arm mounts, as these parts age with time regardless of the distance driven. The clean history suggests a well-maintained example, but verifying the structural integrity of the chassis for surface rust remains a standard precaution for any vehicle of this age.
