2012 SEAT Ibiza 1.6L Diesel · DA12 FCE

The 2012 SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 February 2026 at 137,021 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual mileage has tracked close to the typical expectation for a fourteen-year-old car. The records show 96,036 miles in January 2022, rising to 107,553 by January 2023, 112,054 in January 2024, 127,592 in January 2025, and 137,021 in February 2026. That equates to roughly 9,800 miles per year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing five consecutive passes with zero advisories or defects logged. A clean MOT sheet does not certify component condition, only that the car met minimum standards on test day. Given the mileage and age, a buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and track-rod ends for wear the tester may not have flagged. Brake discs and calipers warrant a physical check for lip wear or binding, and the underbody should be examined for corrosion around sills and suspension mounts. The absence of recurring advisories suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumables. Even so, at 137,021 miles the timing belt, clutch, and exhaust system are due for visual confirmation of service history, since none of these appear in the MOT record as flagged items.
