2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · KP14 AEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend following a minor service setback. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 August 2025 at 58,845 miles passed with no defects, indicating that any previous issues identified during testing have been rectified. This follows a clean pass in August 2024 at 57,437 miles, suggesting the car is currently maintained in a sound mechanical state regarding MOT-specific test items. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Between March 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 8,870 miles, which reinforces the history of low-intensity usage. The failure in February 2024 at 55,980 miles occurred out of the usual annual cycle, suggesting the owner sought a check six months before the standard annual test. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components, it can sometimes lead to neglect of rubber-based parts and brake assemblies if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most affected by low-mileage use, such as brake discs and caliper seals, which can corrode or seize without frequent use. Since the record shows no recurring structural corrosion or persistent mechanical failures, the primary concerns remain age-related degradation of the suspension bushes and tyre perish. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of the fluids and checking for perished rubber under the chassis is essential despite the low odometer reading.
