2019 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · DV19 EAG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-04-28 at 36,241 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the prior test on 2025-04-25 at the same mileage ended in a failure, though no defects were logged. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative or procedural issues rather than mechanical concerns. The trend from 2023 to 2025 shows stable roadworthiness, with no recurring faults or escalating issues. The absence of defects in the 2024 and 2023 tests further supports that the car has maintained acceptable standards, despite the anomalous failure. The recorded mileage of 36,241 miles over seven years equates to an average of 5,177 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual usage. Notable gaps exist between the 2023 test (24,798 miles) and the 2024 test (33,749 miles), reflecting an 8,951-mile increase in 12 months, followed by minimal growth to 36,241 miles by 2025. This pattern may indicate periods of inactivity or irregular use, which could affect components like suspension bushes, battery health, or corrosion resistance. The sparse defect history does not reveal structural or mechanical risks, but the low mileage warrants scrutiny of long-term storage effects. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the undercarriage for rust or corrosion, particularly in areas prone to moisture ingress. The suspension system, including coil springs and dampers, should be checked for wear, as low mileage can sometimes mask hidden issues. Brake components, including discs and calipers, require testing for binding or uneven wear, while the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or damage. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, as some faults may not trigger MOT failures but still impact safety or performance.
