2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.6L Diesel · DA14 HMY

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 14 May 2025 at 88,065 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the vehicle clearing its latest examination without advisories and showing no escalating mechanical concerns. Annual mileage sits at a modest 7,339 per year against the car's 2014 build, a figure consistent with typical private use. The record shows 71,575 miles at the May 2023 test, 77,818 miles by May 2024, and 88,065 miles by May 2025, equating to roughly 6,000 to 10,000 miles added each year. The data is sparse and clean, with no advisories or consumable wear flagged at any stage. The May 2024 and May 2023 entries each show a failed test logged at identical mileages and dates to the passes, yet the DVSA data records no defects against those failures. This administrative anomaly suggests clerical duplication rather than a genuine mechanical fault, though a buyer should verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect lines exist. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition. Twelve years of age invites hidden rust on sills and subframes even where MOT results stay clean. A pre-purchase check of binding calipers and exhaust emissions remains prudent.
