2021 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · FN21 RCZ

The 2021 SEAT Ibiza presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 25 February 2026 at 40,539 miles. The tester recorded zero defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards without reservation. This unblemished record across three consecutive tests demonstrates consistent mechanical care and suggests the previous owner maintained the car to a high standard rather than running it to failure between inspections. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the February 2024 test at 26,427 miles and the March 2025 test at 33,633 miles, the car covered 7,206 miles over thirteen months. The subsequent year saw a slightly higher accumulation of 6,906 miles, reaching the current 40,539 miles by late February 2026. This steady, sub-8,000-mile annual average reflects regular, light-to-moderate use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high mileage, which typically accelerates wear on consumables and drivetrain components. Given the absence of any flagged defects or structural corrosion in the official record, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on standard wear items typical of a five-year-old supermini. While the MOT history shows no binding calipers, uneven brake disc wear, or suspension bush degradation, a physical inspection must verify the condition of the tyres, coil springs, and exhaust system. Buyers should check for stone chips, minor corrosion on suspension components, and the operational condition of the windscreen wipers and washer jets, as these consumables rarely trigger MOT failures but indicate day-to-day upkeep. The pristine DVSA record strongly implies diligent ownership, yet a hands-on assessment remains essential to confirm the structural integrity and mechanical condition beneath the clean paperwork.
