2018 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · GL68 AEJ

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded across its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-12-08 assessment at 49,680 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent compliance, with no recurring issues or escalating faults. This suggests the previous owner maintained the car to a standard that meets legal requirements, though the absence of recorded defects does not preclude hidden wear in non-MOT-covered components. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,210 miles annually. A notable jump from 11,952 miles (2021-12-10) to 25,127 miles (2022-11-30) covers 13,175 miles over 11 months, which may indicate periods of heavy use or infrequent MOTs. Subsequent tests show steady accumulation, with no irregularities in brake, suspension, or exhaust systems. The clean record suggests no major mechanical failures, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor wear patterns. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these components often degrade without triggering MOT failures. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around the catalytic converter, and check for rust on underbody panels, which can develop in coastal or high-salt environments. While the MOT history shows no structural concerns, a pre-purchase inspection should confirm the integrity of wheel bearings and steering linkages, as these can exhibit wear not flagged in standard tests.
