2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · DA04 JAC

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 58,273 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 4 December 2023 at 44,385 miles confirms no advisories or faults have accumulated across the recorded history. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern and no recurring defects requiring corrective action. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,475 miles per year. The tester logged 40,618 miles on 6 January 2023, then 44,385 miles by 4 December 2023, 51,865 miles at the November 2024 tests, and 58,273 miles in November 2025. Annual use held near 6,000 to 7,000 miles throughout, with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps. The DVSA record is sparse but clean, showing only a failed entry on 30 November 2024 at 51,865 miles where the tester recorded no defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, implying an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car's age and the absence of advisory data in the record. The lack of flagged wear items across five tests suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though MOT passes with zero advisories at this mileage can mask incipient consumable fatigue not yet at test threshold. Verify the 30 November 2024 failure reason via DVSA backend, as the no-defect entry paired with a same-day pass points to a documentation anomaly rather than owner neglect. Otherwise, the Ibiza's history supports a sound used purchase pending a physical check of tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions at point of sale.
