2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · JA06 KPA

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 3 December 2025 at 96,170 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The tester recorded no defects at that test. This clean result follows a failed test on 18 November 2025 at 96,165 miles where the DVSA system logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle cleared re-test nineteen days later. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2014 car, averaging roughly 8,014 miles per year against the 96,170 miles now recorded. The records show steady annual use: 68,209 miles in January 2023, 78,648 in January 2024, 87,718 in January 2025, then 96,170 by December 2025. The gap between the January 2025 and December 2025 tests covers under 8,500 miles, while the November to December 2025 interval added only five miles, consistent with a short pre-sale rectification cycle rather than neglected storage. No advisories or defects appear anywhere in the five-year MOT sequence, so the history gives no signal of recurring suspension bush wear, corroding structure, or failing brake components. The absence of flagged items suggests previous owners kept the car to a passable standard, though a clean sheet offers no evidence of proactive part replacement ahead of failure. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion given the car's twelve years and near-100,000 miles, since MOT pass criteria do not capture incipient wear. The unexplained November 2025 failure with zero defects warrants confirmation that the V5C and DVLA records match and that no withdrawn test conceals a latent fault.
