2018 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · CV18 LMY

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 April 2026 at 50,977 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also closed as passes with no advisories. The duplicate 2 April 2025 entries show a fail and pass logged on the same day at 46,689 miles with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,372 miles, typical for an eight-year-old car. The odometer moved from 38,413 miles at the 23 March 2023 test to 42,598 miles by 3 April 2024, then 46,689 miles by 2 April 2025, and 50,977 miles by 2 April 2026. The record shows no gaps or sudden accumulation; the yearly increments stay near 4,000 to 4,300 miles. Clean sheets across all five tests mean the DVSA data gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The absence of advisories does not rule out worn suspension bushes, tired dampers, or early corrosion hidden from the test bay. Eight years of low use can let brake calipers seize or tyres crack through standing, so check disc condition, caliper freedom, and sidewall integrity. Given the same-day fail and pass in April 2025 carried no defects, no recurring fault pattern exists to track. The history implies the previous keeper kept the car to test standard, but physical checks on structural integrity and underbody rust remain sensible before purchase.
