2009 SEAT Ibiza 1.6L Diesel · DA59 KXC

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 2 August 2023 at 113,609 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests show the same clean pattern, with passes logged on 23 November 2021 at 98,958 miles and 30 November 2022 at 108,728 miles. The single failure on 30 November 2022 at 108,728 miles carries no defects in the record, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed again the same day. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear across the four-year span. The odometer sat at 98,958 miles in November 2021 and rose to 113,609 miles by August 2023, an accumulation of 14,651 miles over roughly twenty months, equating to near 8,800 miles per year. This sits above the lifetime average of about 6,683 miles per year but remains within normal used-car parameters for a 2009 supermini. The gap between the November 2022 and August 2023 tests spans just over eight months, with 4,881 miles added, showing consistent use rather than long standing periods. The record is sparse and clean, offering no recurring consumable wear flags such as tyres or wiper blades. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's seventeen-year age, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of developing rust on sills or subframes. The tester noted no binding calipers or worn coil springs, yet brake disc thickness and suspension bush condition warrant physical measurement. Verify the November 2022 failure reason with DVSA, since the blank defect field leaves the rejection cause unconfirmed despite the immediate pass.
