2018 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · FL18 GWD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted on May 22, 2025 at 48,221 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the mechanical condition has been maintained without significant recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 18,911 miles and the May 2025 test at 48,221 miles, the car covered roughly 30,000 miles. There was a notable spike in usage between July 2023 and July 2024 where the mileage increased by over 11,000 miles, but the overall average remains low for an eight-year-old Ibiza, which typically reduces wear on stress components like the drivetrain and suspension bushings. While the history is remarkably clean of advisories, a buyer should still focus on components that degrade with age rather than just mileage. Given the intervals between tests, an in-person inspection should check for perished rubber components or seized brake calipers that occur during infrequent use. The failure recorded on July 27, 2023 at 29,928 miles was rectified immediately to allow a subsequent pass, but the specific cause of that failure should be verified to ensure it was not a symptom of a deeper structural issue.
