2012 SEAT Ibiza SE Copa CR TDI Ecomotive 1.2L Heavy oil · IFZ 7904

The 2012 SEAT Ibiza SE Copa CR TDI Ecomotive presents a broadly stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 13 September 2022 at 123,366 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the February 2020 test at 104,555 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance history shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available record, though the absence of any test between September 2022 and today leaves the current condition unverified for nearly four years. Recorded mileage sits at a typical 8,812 miles per year for a fourteen-year-old car, but the MOT data contains irregular gaps that warrant scrutiny. The February 2019 entry shows a failure at 91,170 miles on 4 February, followed two days later by a pass logged at 0 miles, then a further pass on 6 February 2019 at 0 miles. This suggests a clerical mileage error or a test re-entry rather than genuine zero use. From 81,183 miles in February 2018 to 104,555 in February 2020, the car covered roughly 23,000 miles in two years, a moderate rate, before adding only 18,811 miles over the next two and a half years to the 2022 test. No advisories or defects were flagged across any passing or failing entry, so the record gives no direct evidence of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. The February 2019 failure with no listed defect is anomalous and may reflect a documentation omission rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, subframe corrosion, and brake disc wear, as these items commonly escape MOT advisories on older vehicles until significant degradation occurs. Given the clean but sparse history and the elapsed time since the last test, the vehicle should not be assumed roadworthy without a fresh MOT and a hands-on check of drivetrain condition, exhaust emissions, and tyre sidewall integrity. The previous owner appears to have maintained basic test compliance, yet the unexplained 2019 mileage discrepancy means service consistency cannot be fully confirmed from DVSA data alone.
