2021 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · JF04 AMY

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 15,625 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior clean result from 3 October 2024 at 14,092 miles. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories indicate the vehicle has not developed any worsening mechanical or structural faults across the recorded period. The mileage pattern shows very light use for a five-year-old car. Between October 2024 and October 2025 the odometer advanced only 1,533 miles, averaging roughly 3,125 miles per year since registration. The DVSA history contains just two entries and both are clean, so the dataset is sparse but shows no gaps, rapid accumulation, or abrupt changes that would suggest neglected high-use cycles. Low standing mileage of this kind can allow tyres, brake discs and suspension bushes to degrade through age rather than friction, though the record gives no evidence of such issues yet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable and structural items the MOT does not probe in depth. Check the condition of brake calipers for binding after long idle periods, inspect coil springs and suspension bushes for age-related cracking, and confirm exhaust emissions remain within limits given the limited running. The absence of advisories means no specific recurring fault directs attention, but verify underneath for corrosion on structural members and sills that a clean test bay might miss on a lightly used vehicle. Given the fault-free record and low annual mileage, previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a standard that satisfied DVLA testers without deferred items. The buyer should obtain service history to confirm fluids and cambelt-type intervals were honoured, since MOT passes alone do not evidence routine maintenance on a car used this little.
