2012 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · FV12 LHB

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 12 June 2025 at 108,282 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over several years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,734 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between January 2022 and January 2023, where the odometer rose from 81,007 to 99,831 miles. Since then, the annual mileage has stabilised, with 5,588 miles added between June 2024 and June 2025. The record shows a failure on 26 January 2024 at 102,681 miles, though the lack of recorded defects suggests this may have been a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately before the pass on 13 June 2024. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the paperwork is clean, a buyer should still physically inspect the underbody for structural rust and check the condition of the brake discs and tyres. The lack of flagged wear on consumables over the last three years implies either a very disciplined replacement regime or a lenient testing history. Priority should be given to verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals, as the MOT record does not track internal engine health. Checking for any signs of oil leaks or suspension knocks during a test drive will confirm if the mechanical condition matches the clean DVSA record.
