2012 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · CE12 LMM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 102,607 miles. While the car has a history of minor consumable issues, it has successfully passed every inspection since 2015. The maintenance trend shows a shift from frequent tyre-related failures and advisories to a clean record over the last two years, suggesting a more diligent approach to upkeep by the current or recent owner. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 26,334 miles in February 2015 to the current 102,607 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing intervals or periods of unexplained inactivity, which indicates regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of standing. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of tyre wear issues. Between 2016 and 2025, the tester frequently flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, including a failure in February 2017 for insufficient tread depth on both rear tyres. This repeated pattern of edge wear often points to underlying suspension geometry issues. A buyer should personally inspect the wheel alignment, suspension bushes, and shock absorbers to ensure uneven tyre wear has not been caused by misaligned components or worn steering elements. Beyond the tyres, the record is notably devoid of structural corrosion, brake system failures, or exhaust emission issues. Because the recent tests in 2024 and 2026 showed no defects, the mechanical integrity of the primary systems appears sound. However, given the age and mileage, a physical check of the brake discs and pads is advisable to ensure the recent clean passes reflect well-maintained consumables.
