2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · DA67 UZP

The 2017 SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 57,190 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 3 January 2025 at 53,867 miles also passed clean. The lone failure occurred on 20 December 2024 at 53,711 miles, yet the record shows no defects listed, indicating an administrative or presentational fail rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five-year span the vehicle has avoided recurring advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,354 miles, typical for a nine-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 45,794 miles in December 2022, 50,051 in December 2023, 53,711 at the December 2024 fail, and 53,867 by January 2025. Only 3,323 miles were added across the full 2025 calendar year, confirming light use. The clean pass history with no flagged wear items suggests the previous owner kept basic consumable upkeep current rather than deferring tyres or wiper blades. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's age, despite no MOT advisories naming such issues. The unexplained December 2024 failure warrants checking the original refusal reason, as DVSA systems sometimes omit defect text on the public feed. Verify the brake calipers and coil springs operate free of binding or fracture, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under cold start. Given the low yearly distance and clean test outcomes, this Ibiza shows no worsening mechanical trajectory. The sparse record offers little evidence of neglected maintenance, though the single anomalous fail means the buyer should obtain the full DVSA failure sheet before completion.
