2018 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · FE18 XGL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear positive maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 February 2026 at 71,693 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets all statutory requirements. This follows a clean pass in February 2024, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the mechanical integrity of the vehicle effectively over recent years without recurring failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between the February 2023 test at 35,681 miles and the 2024 test at 48,167 miles, the car covered 12,486 miles. The more recent interval saw 23,526 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2026. This steady progression suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which generally benefits the health of seals, fluids, and long-term rubber components. While the history is largely free of structural rust or mechanical warnings, the failure on 19 February 2025 at 60,689 miles warrants attention. Although the vehicle passed the immediate re-test on the same day, the issue was likely a minor consumable item such as a bulb, wiper blade, or a slight light leak adjustment. Given the mileage, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, and check the brake discs for thinness or uneven wear. The lack of recurring faults in the record indicates that no deep mechanical issues or structural corrosion are currently affecting the drivetrain or chassis.
