2018 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · CV18 OOH

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 16,932 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean results. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the entire history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards. Annual mileage sits markedly below typical expectations for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show 8,406 miles at the 25 February 2022 test, rising to 12,619 by 21 February 2023, 14,920 by 19 February 2024, 16,169 by 18 February 2025, and 16,932 by the 2026 test. That equates to roughly 2,100 miles per year, with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The sparse, defect-free ledger implies a lightly used car kept by an owner conducting minimal but sufficient annual servicing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. Low mileage combined with long standing periods can allow suspension bushes, brake calipers, and coil springs to degrade through inactivity rather than wear. Corrosion on structural members and underbody components may develop unseen where moisture traps form. Verify brake disc condition and check for binding calipers from disuse. Examine tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots caused by prolonged parking. Confirm exhaust emissions and fluid levels reflect genuine care rather than a car merely ticking the annual test.
