2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · FP17 PXG

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 109,052 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 12 February 2025 at 105,430 miles shows the vehicle entered its ninth year in sound condition. The single failure logged on 12 February 2025 at the same mileage and date carries no recorded defects, which points to an administrative or presentational issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits high for a 2017 car. At 109,052 miles across roughly nine years the annual average is about 12,117 miles, above typical private-use levels. The gap between the August 2021 test at 76,276 miles and the August 2022 test at 85,617 miles shows near 9,400 miles in under a year, then a leap of nearly 20,000 miles to the February 2025 figure of 105,430. That accumulation implies steady motorway or commuter use rather than short local trips, with no standing-still periods evident. The DVSA history flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still confirm in person that the structural integrity and underbody remain free of rust, given the mileage and winter road-salt exposure since 2021. Check the front suspension for worn bushes and the rear brakes for binding calipers, as these items draw no comment only because the tester recorded none. The clean record across five tests suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current and avoided deferred consumable replacement. Inspect tyre tread depth and wiper blades visually, though no test ever failed on these. Given the high mileage, a pre-purchase inspection of the clutch and drivetrain is prudent even though the MOT data shows no fault.
