2015 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · YJI 1230

The 2015 SEAT IBIZA demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-29 confirming a pass at 76,238 miles. However, the immediate prior test on 2026-01-28 recorded a fail despite no defects being listed, raising questions about the accuracy or context of that result. No structural, braking, or suspension issues were flagged in the cleanest records, suggesting the vehicle has maintained compliance with safety standards. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in the tested periods implies consistent maintenance, though the unexplained fail warrants further scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with average usage, accumulating 6,931 miles annually over 11 years. The 2023-12-15 test at 63,335 miles shows a 6,632-mile gap to the 2024-12-18 test, reflecting typical annual driving. Subsequent growth to 76,238 miles by 2026-01-29 indicates steady use without significant surges or stagnation. The MOT history lacks anomalies in mileage accumulation, though the two consecutive fails within 24 hours of each other—both with no defects—suggests potential administrative or procedural inconsistencies in the testing process. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over time without immediate warning. Inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, particularly given the lack of recorded brake-related issues. Structural corrosion, especially in underbody areas, should be checked, as rust can develop in older vehicles with inconsistent use. The absence of advisories in the MOT records is positive, but the unexplained fail highlights the need for a pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity beyond documented tests.
