2018 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · CY18 CMU

The 2018 SEAT Ibiza presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 May 2025 at 35,564 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of fault-free MOT outcomes. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical issues and no recurring advisory pattern across its recorded history. Annual tests from May 2022 through May 2025 document mileages of 17,464, 24,081, 29,844, and 35,564 respectively. This equates to roughly 4,400 to 5,700 miles added each year, a low accumulation for an eight-year-old car averaging about 4,446 miles annually. The record contains no gaps, rapid jumps, or dormant periods; the clean pass sheet each year suggests the previous keeper used the car lightly and booked it in on schedule without deferring tests. A buyer should still inspect in person the components the MOT does not deeply probe on a pass. Low mileage combined with standing time can allow suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers to stiffen or seize without triggering an advisory. Check the underbody and sills for corrosion, and confirm the brake discs are free of lip wear and the rear calipers are not binding after storage. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, the history implies conscientious basic upkeep rather than deferred consumable replacement. The clean sheet offers reassurance, but a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to catch latent age-related degradation not visible to the tester on a passing run.
