2009 SEAT Ibiza 1.6L Diesel · CV59 FXW

The SEAT Ibiza presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 120,185 miles on 4 November 2022, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though the prior day's failure at 120,183 miles on 3 November 2022 is anomalous as the record lists no defects, suggesting an administrative or unlogged issue rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a 2009 vehicle, rising from 114,375 miles at the 11 November 2021 test to 120,185 miles by November 2022, an annual gain of roughly 5,810 miles below the lifetime average of 7,070. The supplied record is sparse, covering only three entries across two years, with no advisories or recorded wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and corrosion points in person, given the car's 17-year age and the lack of advisory data to confirm prior upkeep. The clean pass does not rule out unseen fatigue in coil springs, exhaust emissions systems, or binding calipers that a short MOT may not have stressed. Given the 3 November 2022 failure with zero listed defects, verify the DVSA rationale with the test centre before purchase, as the discrepancy clouds the ownership care pattern. Otherwise, the low defect history implies reasonable basic maintenance, but in-person checks on mechanical wear remain prudent at this mileage.
