2012 SEAT Ibiza SE Copa CR TDI Ecomotive 1.2L Diesel · GXZ 3065

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026-01-22 MOT at 130,581 miles. Subsequent tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed consistent passing results, indicating effective maintenance. No critical issues were flagged across the 14-year span, suggesting the previous owners prioritized regular servicing. The absence of advisories or failures implies the car has been operated within acceptable parameters, though age and mileage necessitate closer scrutiny of high-wear components. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,327 miles annually. A 16-month gap between the 2021-08-13 test (108,982 miles) and 2022-12-11 test (115,746 miles) reflects a slight acceleration in usage, but no irregularities were recorded. Subsequent tests maintained steady intervals, with no evidence of excessive wear or neglect. The clean MOT history suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme conditions or prolonged inactivity, which could have exacerbated corrosion or mechanical degradation. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common wear points in older models, and check brake discs for uneven wear or warping. The exhaust system, particularly near the catalytic converter, warrants attention for potential corrosion, as this is a known vulnerability in diesel engines. Visual checks for rust on the underbody and wheel arches are also advised, as the vehicle’s age increases the risk of structural fatigue. While the MOT records show no immediate concerns, these areas require physical verification to confirm continued roadworthiness.
