2012 SEAT Ibiza SE CR Ecomotive TDI 1.2L Heavy oil · KFZ 7631

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, reflecting a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2024 at 157,234 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a multi-year trend of clean results since 2019, suggesting the owner has maintained the car to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical or safety failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 14-year-old diesel, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per year. There is a notable three-year gap between the August 2019 and February 2022 tests, during which the car covered roughly 22,000 miles. Since that period, the usage has remained steady, with nearly 20,000 miles recorded between the 2022 and October 2024 tests. This regular usage pattern indicates the vehicle is driven regularly, which helps prevent seal drying and component corrosion associated with long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage of 157,000 miles necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear components that are not always captured in a standard test. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber, as these often degrade at this mileage. Given the age of the Ecomotive engine, checking for oil leaks around the turbocharger and timing belt housing is vital. You should also verify the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches to ensure that no hidden corrosion has begun to develop despite the lack of recent rust advisories.
