2017 SEAT IBIZA1.0L Petrol

The 2017 SEAT IBIZA with 72,996 miles shows a mixed maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-27 recording a pass at the same mileage as a prior failure. Both tests at 72,996 miles noted no defects, suggesting unresolved issues may have been addressed or technical discrepancies exist. Earlier tests in 2023 and 2022 showed consistent passing with no defects, indicating a stable baseline. However, the repeated failures at identical mileage raise questions about the vehicle’s compliance or testing accuracy, though no specific mechanical faults were documented. The vehicle’s mileage of 72,996 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 8,111 miles, reflecting typical wear for its age. The MOT history reveals a gap of 13 months between the 2022 test (42,791 miles) and the 2023 test (51,539 miles), followed by a 12-month interval to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use without prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of corrosion or component degradation from standing. The absence of recurring defects in earlier tests implies no systemic mechanical failures, though the lack of detailed fault records limits deeper analysis. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension integrity, focusing on bushes and coil springs, as well as brake disc wear and caliper functionality, given the repeated MOT attempts. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion, and check for structural rust, particularly in areas prone to moisture. While no defects were recorded, the unresolved failures at 72,996 miles warrant a pre-purchase inspection to confirm that all systems meet roadworthiness standards and that no latent issues were overlooked.
