2011 SEAT Ibiza SE Copa CR TDI Ecomotive 1.2L Diesel · CU07 SON

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, demonstrating a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 28 May 2026 at 149,214 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems are currently meeting DVSA standards without recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between May 2025 and May 2026, the car covered 9,047 miles, which represents steady, predictable usage. A slight drop in activity occurred between May 2023 and May 2024, where 3,485 miles were recorded, but the overall trajectory remains within normal parameters for a commuter car. The lack of significant mileage gaps suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing which can often degrade seals and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components typical of high-mileage diesel engines, specifically the turbocharger and fuel system condition. While the recent MOT history is clean of defects, the failure in April 2023 at 134,151 miles suggests a specific issue required rectification at that time. Given the age of the Ibiza, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the rear subframe and suspension arches is essential, as these are the first areas to show degradation on this platform despite a clean MOT record. Testing the brake discs for thinning and checking for binding calipers will ensure no new issues have developed since the last test.
