2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · DG14 LWS

The vehicle holds a valid MOT pass as of the 23rd March 2026 test at 32,890 miles, having rectified the same-day failure for ineffective front windscreen wipers earlier that day. The maintenance trend is stable and improving, with no serious structural or mechanical defects recorded since the 2019 failure on tyre and shock absorber condition. Recent history shows only minor consumable wear rather than escalating mechanical risk. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, accumulating only 32,890 miles across the recorded period from 2017 to 2026, equating to roughly 2,741 miles per year. The progression is remarkably linear, with annual increments between 2,000 and 3,000 miles, indicating light use or extended periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2019-03-25 fail and the 2019-03-26 pass shows a single-day turnaround, while the 2026 data shows both a fail and pass recorded on the same date after rectification. A buyer should inspect the front tyres closely, as the 2025 test flagged slight damage, cracking, or perishing on both front tyres, and the 2019 record documented a nearside front tyre cut reaching the ply cords. The 2019 failure also noted offside front shock absorbers exhibiting light oil misting with limited damping effect, a condition that should be rechecked for potential seal degradation given the vehicle's low mileage and possible standing time. The March 2026 wiper blade failure indicates basic consumable maintenance, but the low annual mileage raises the greater concern of rubber and plastic components hardening from age rather than wear, potentially affecting suspension bushes, seals, and wiring insulation even if the odometer reads modestly.
