2015 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · CE65 LHU

The most recent MOT test on 30 September 2025 confirms the SEAT Ibiza remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 61,327 miles. This marks the fourth consecutive annual pass, suggesting a stable maintenance pattern over the past three years. The absence of advisories or recurring faults implies the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical issues, though the record does not reveal whether servicing was performed between tests. The latest test occurred just under ten months ago, which is within the standard annual MOT cycle, though slightly later than the ideal six-month interval for a vehicle of this age. The recorded mileage of 61,327 miles over eleven years equates to an average of approximately 5,575 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests—ranging from 5,315 to 7,782 miles—indicates minimal usage, which could either reflect careful storage or infrequent driving. Notably, the September 2023 test shows a duplicate entry (one pass, one fail at the same mileage), which may suggest an administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. Without additional service records, it is impossible to confirm whether the vehicle was regularly serviced or if critical components like fluids were changed according to manufacturer specifications. Given the lack of defects in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely checked during an MOT. The suspension—particularly the bushes, coil springs, and dampers—should be examined for excessive play or corrosion, as these components degrade gradually and are not always flagged unless they fail catastrophically. Brake pads and discs should be assessed for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods, as moisture can accelerate corrosion. Tyres, despite not being MOT-fail items, warrant scrutiny for uneven tread wear or embedded debris, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Finally, a thorough check for structural corrosion—particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody—is essential, as rust can compromise the vehicle’s integrity over time without immediate MOT consequences.
