2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · FV14 LDZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 8 November 2025 at 91,362 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. The maintenance trend appears consistent, with the vehicle successfully passing its annual inspections following minor corrective actions. While the car failed its tests in both 2024 and 2025, these failures were rectified within days, suggesting that the owner addressed specific mechanical and safety concerns promptly rather than allowing issues to persist. The recorded mileage of 91,362 miles over a twelve-year period reflects an average annual usage of approximately 7,600 miles. This accumulation is consistent and suggests the vehicle has seen regular, moderate use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway travel. The steady increase in mileage between the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests confirms that the car has remained in active service, which often prevents the mechanical degradation associated with long-term storage, such as seized calipers or perished rubber components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition, as these have been the primary areas of concern in recent records. The 2024 failure regarding rear brake imbalance and inadequate service brake effort points to potential issues with the rear calipers or handbrake mechanism, which are common failure points on this platform. Verify that the rear discs and pads show even wear and that the parking brake holds firmly on an incline. Inspect the sidewalls of all tyres closely, given the 2025 failure due to a cut reaching the cords. While the current tyres passed inspection, check for signs of uneven wear patterns that might indicate misalignment or worn suspension bushes. The absence of structural or corrosion-related advisories in the recent history is encouraging, but a thorough check of the sills and floor pans remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age to ensure long-term integrity.
