2011 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · KA54 AYA

This SEAT Ibiza has maintained a consistent MOT pass record since its most recent test on 15 November 2025, with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual checks. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable, though the 2022 entry—dated 1 December—shows an unusual duplicate entry (both pass and fail at the same mileage of 115,963) which may indicate a clerical error rather than a mechanical issue. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the last three tests suggests the vehicle has been subject to regular, if not rigorous, maintenance, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear in high-stress components. The recorded mileage of 127,726 miles at the time of the latest MOT reflects an average annual distance of approximately 8,500 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history, and the progression from 115,963 miles in December 2022 to 127,726 miles in November 2025 indicates steady usage without abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. While this pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left stationary, the lack of mileage data between December 2022 and December 2023 (a gap of 12 months with no intermediate records) means there is no confirmation of maintenance between those tests. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in Ibizas of this age and mileage. The brakes—though not explicitly flagged—should be scrutinised for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs, which can develop silently over time. Structural integrity is another critical area; the chassis rails, subframe, and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, especially around the wheel housings and sills, as this model is prone to rust in those regions. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive corrosion, as catalytic converter failures are a known issue in this vehicle, often leading to advisory notes or failures in later MOTs.
