2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · DE64 ABN

The 2014 SEAT IBIZA demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-09-30 at 97,800 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, the 2024-09-16 test shows conflicting outcomes—both a pass and a failure at the same mileage, though no defects were logged in either. This inconsistency may indicate administrative error or a minor issue resolved before retesting. The absence of recorded defects in the latest test suggests the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards, but the prior failure without details raises questions about potential unresolved issues. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,150 miles annually. Notable gaps exist between tests: from 77,276 miles (2023-08-29) to 85,349 miles (2024-09-16), a 10,073-mile increase over 13 months, followed by a 12,451-mile jump to 97,800 miles by 2025-09-30. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though no such issues were flagged. The frequent testing suggests proactive maintenance, but the lack of defect records limits insight into underlying mechanical health. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage can degrade these components. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, particularly given the 2024 failure without recorded defects. Corrosion in body panels and underbody components remains a risk, as MOT tests rarely detect structural rust unless severe. While the vehicle appears roadworthy, the absence of detailed defect data means a physical inspection is critical to confirm the integrity of key systems.
