2012 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · DL12 AEK

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 140,429 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This consistent streak of clean passes suggests that the previous owners have proactively maintained the mechanical and structural components of the car, preventing the accumulation of minor issues from escalating into failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between September 2021 and February 2026, the car covered 40,538 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation. A notable period of activity occurred between March 2025 and February 2026, where 18,792 miles were clocked, indicating the car is driven regularly which generally helps maintain internal engine seals and prevents the brake-relatedrelated corrosion often associated with stationary vehicles. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage components typical for the 140,000-mile mark. While the record does not flag specific faults, the age and mileage necessitate a check of suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of perish or wear. One should also inspect the brake discs for excessive thinning and the exhaust system for structural corrosion, as the MOT test does not measure the remaining life of these consumables unless they present an immediate safety risk.
