2006 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · DA55 FZN

The 2006 SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 3 February 2026 at 96,390 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded period. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the vehicle carries a valid certificate roughly five months before the current date. Prior to this, the history shows two anomalous failures with no defects logged, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Mileage stands at 96,390 against a 20-year lifespan, equating to circa 4,820 miles per year and marking the car as low-use for its age. The records show 84,153 miles on 15 January 2024, rising to 88,905 by 20 January 2025 and 96,390 by February 2026, a steady annual gain near 4,000 to 8,000 miles with no sudden accumulation. Sparse entries and clean sheets across all tests indicate the owner kept the car lightly run and apparently well presented, though the two failure lines with zero defects suggest clerical anomalies rather than neglect of consumables. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, given the vehicle's two-decade age and the possibility of hidden rust behind sills or suspension mounting points not captured by the bare MOT lines. The tester logged no advisories on coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, yet low annual mileage often masks perished rubber components and binding calipers from prolonged standing. Verify the genuine reason for the January and February 2026 failures with no defects, as DVSA systems occasionally flag such entries on certificate mismatches that a careful buyer must reconcile before purchase.
