2015 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · GF15 AFA

The 2015 SEAT Ibiza has maintained a consistent MOT pass record since its most recent test on 18 June 2025, with no defects or advisories recorded at 110,292 miles. This suggests the vehicle has not encountered any recurring or serious mechanical issues during the past 12 months, though the absence of advisories does not preclude underlying wear that hasn’t yet reached MOT failure thresholds. The most recent test was conducted just over a year ago, which is within the standard 12-month MOT validity period, but given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to verify the condition of high-wear components. Mileage progression indicates typical usage for its age, averaging around 10,000 miles annually, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between tests is consistent at approximately 12 months, and the recorded mileage increments align with this schedule—rising from 73,006 miles (failed) to 73,009 miles (passed) in a single day suggests a minor data entry anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. There is no evidence of neglect or excessive wear from mileage alone, though the lack of advisories in recent tests means some degradation may not yet be detectable. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of recorded failures does not rule out progressive wear in these areas, particularly if the vehicle has experienced rough roads or heavy loads. Brake discs and calipers should also be examined for uneven wear or binding, as these are common failure points at this mileage. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, warrants close scrutiny, as this is often a silent risk in older vehicles with inconsistent maintenance histories. Finally, the exhaust system and catalytic converter should be checked for leaks or damage, as these are frequently overlooked but critical for emissions compliance.
