2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · KS64 WLG

The 2014 SEAT Ibiza presents a stable and largely unblemished maintenance trajectory, culminating in a clean pass at 73,586 miles on 31 January 2026. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards. While a failed test appears in the record for 5 February 2024 at 57,181 miles, the absence of recorded defects for that failure suggests an administrative anomaly or an immediate rectification rather than a lingering mechanical fault. The trend remains consistently positive, with the three subsequent annual tests passing without issue. Accumulating 73,586 miles over twelve years translates to an average of roughly 6,132 miles per year, a figure that aligns perfectly with typical domestic use. The mileage progression reveals a steady increase: 49,455 miles in January 2023, 57,181 miles by February 2024, 63,722 miles in January 2025, and 73,586 miles in January 2026. The annual increments hover between 6,500 and 9,900 miles, demonstrating consistent utilization without alarming spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might suggest neglect or standing deterioration. Despite the clean MOT history, a pre-purchase inspection must focus on the mechanical components that typically degrade on a supermini of this age and mileage. The suspension bushes and coil springs require close scrutiny for wear, as these items often deteriorate past advisory thresholds before outright failure. Brake discs and calipers should be measured for thickness and checked for binding, particularly given the recent uptick in annual mileage accumulation. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills, as twelve years of UK road salt exposure can compromise metalwork even when the tester flags no immediate danger. Tyre condition and tread depth warrant a physical check, as consumable wear can accelerate rapidly in the months following a clean test.
