2021 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · AE21 WNM

A single recorded electrical fault – the nearside front daytime running lamp not functioning – is the only blemish on an otherwise clean MOT history, and the defect was cleared within a week, as evidenced by the pass recorded on 2 April 2026. All other tests from 2024 to 2026 show no defects, indicating that the vehicle has not presented any recurring safety‑critical issues over the past three years. At 36,709 miles the Ibiza averages roughly 7,300 miles per annum, a usage rate that sits comfortably within the typical band for a five‑year‑old hatchback. The MOT dates are spaced at the expected twelve‑month intervals, with no prolonged gaps that might suggest extended periods of inactivity; this pattern implies a steady, moderate level of wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components. When inspecting the car, confirm that the nearside front daytime running lamp now operates correctly and that the associated wiring and bulb are securely fitted, as a recurring fault in the lighting circuit could reappear if the repair was superficial. Test all external lights – headlamps, indicators, rear lamps and fog lamps – for proper illumination and consistent operation, and listen for any intermittent buzzing or flickering that might betray a loose connector. A quick visual check of the lamp housing for corrosion or cracked seals will also help verify that the repair was thorough. Beyond the lighting issue, the MOT record shows no advisories on suspension, brakes, steering or emissions, so the next buyer should focus on the usual wear signs appropriate to the mileage: feel for any judder or pull when applying the brakes, listen for knocking or clunking over bumps that could indicate worn bushings or deteriorating coil springs, and assess tyre tread depth and uniformity for early signs of alignment drift. A short road test that includes steady cruising, gentle braking and a few moderate corners will reveal whether the chassis and drivetrain remain within acceptable condition for continued roadworthiness.
