2022 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · EX22 AAN

The most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards at that date. The only advisory in the recorded history is a single note from the 4 April 2025 test concerning an off‑side rear tyre nail, which did not result in a failure. Overall the MOT trend is stable, with no recurring failures or deteriorating fault patterns evident over the two‑year span. At four years old the SEAT Ibiza has logged 51 097 miles, equating to roughly 12 800 miles per annum – a usage rate above the average for a small family car of this age. This higher annual mileage suggests the vehicle has been subjected to more frequent acceleration, braking and road load cycles, which accelerates wear on consumables such as tyre tread, brake pads and discs, suspension bushings and engine oil. There are no obvious gaps in the recorded mileage, implying consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity that could mask corrosion or fluid degradation. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the off‑side rear tyre that was flagged for a nail. Inspect the tyre for any puncture, bulge or sidewall damage and verify that the nail has been properly removed and the tyre repaired or replaced. During a test drive listen for any low‑frequency thump or vibration that could indicate a compromised tyre or wheel balance issue, and feel for uneven tyre wear that might point to mis‑alignment or worn suspension components. Examine the tread depth across all four tyres, checking for uneven wear patterns that could reveal degraded camber or toe settings, and ensure the tyre sidewalls are free from cracking, especially given the vehicle’s age. Given the relatively high mileage, a thorough mechanical appraisal is advisable. Check the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for any signs of leaking fluid, excessive play or clunking noises over bumps. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, scoring or glazing and measure pad thickness to confirm sufficient remaining life. Verify that the clutch (if a manual) operates smoothly without judder and that the gearbox oil has been changed at the manufacturer‑specified intervals. Finally, assess the 12‑volt battery’s state of charge and cranking performance, examine coolant, brake and power‑steering fluids for colour and level, and confirm that service records show regular oil changes and any required timing‑belt or chain interventions appropriate to the mileage. These checks will give a clear picture of the Ibiza’s current roadworthiness and any imminent maintenance that may be required.
