2020 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · DA69 VCJ

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 42,810 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 8 May 2025 at 41,657 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failure on 30 April 2025 at 41,591 miles, which the record lists with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The pattern across five years of testing shows no recurring advisories or worsening condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,135 miles, typical for a six-year-old supermini. The records trace a steady climb from 29,524 miles on 12 April 2023 to 37,291 miles on 7 May 2024, then 41,591 miles by late April 2025. The gap between the April 2025 failure and the May 2025 pass covered only 66 miles, suggesting a swift retest. No long dormant periods or sudden accumulation stand out in the data; the clean history implies the previous owner kept basic consumable and structural checks current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age, even though the MOT logged no advisories. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emission flags across all tests points to sound structural integrity under DVSA criteria. Verify the April 2025 failure reason at the testing station, as a no-defect fail is unusual and may affect resale confidence. Given the sparse but clean record, focus the viewing on tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and underbody for any latent rust the annual test missed. The low yearly use means components like calipers could have seen light cycling; a road test will confirm no binding. Overall the documentary evidence supports a low-risk purchase pending hands-on confirmation.
