2021 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · FL21 MSX

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 March 2026 at 51,277 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same date and mileage where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in 2025 and 2024 also passed cleanly, showing no advisories or recurring wear patterns across the vehicle's four-year MOT history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2021 hatchback. The record shows 24,380 miles at the 26 March 2024 test, rising to 39,383 miles by 28 March 2025, then 51,277 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 15,000 miles in the latest year against about 10,255 average annually, a moderate increase but within normal used-car variation. The clean pass history with no corrosion, brake, or suspension flags suggests previous owners kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the sparse record. The absence of advisories means no worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions faults were flagged, but MOTs do not assess engine internals, gearbox condition, or underbody rust hidden by panels. Verify the 13 March 2026 failure-with-no-defects entry with DVSA to confirm it was a clerical reversal and not a withheld result. Check tyre tread depth, brake disc wear, and coolant or cambelt status in person, as these fall outside MOT defect logging when within limits. The low defect count implies careful ownership, yet a five-year-old car at 51,000 miles warrants a routine diagnostic scan and test drive to confirm drivetrain health before purchase.
