2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · AF17 AEP

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 15 September 2025 at 77,075 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,564 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between 31 July 2024 and 15 September 2025, where the odometer rose from 63,475 to 77,075 miles. This period of higher intensity use accounts for nearly 14,000 miles in just over a year, which is significantly above the vehicle's historical average. The MOT record is unusually sparse, showing no advisories for consumables or wear-and-tear items across multiple tests. While a clean sheet is positive, the absence of any flagged tyre wear, brake disc thinning, or suspension bush degradation over 21,000 miles is rare for a car of this age. A buyer should physically inspect the brake pads and tyre tread depths to ensure they have not been overlooked or are nearing the end of their service life. Given the lack of recorded faults, focus your inspection on the chassis and underbody for any signs of corrosion that may not have been flagged by the tester. Check for oil leaks around the engine bay and ensure the gearbox shifts smoothly, as the MOT test does not evaluate the internal health of the drivetrain or the efficiency of the engine beyond basic emissions.
