2011 SEAT Ibiza S Copa CR TDI Ecomotive 1.2L Diesel · KV61 UMS

The 2011 SEAT IbIZA S COPA CR TDI ECOMOTIVE presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 13 March 2026 at 139,342 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT entry, sitting just over three months before today's date of 18 June 2026, meaning the vehicle's roadworthiness certification is current and fresh. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural failures across the five tests listed, which is a strong indicator of consistent upkeep rather than reactive repairs. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 9,289 miles per year over the vehicle's fifteen-year life, which is typical for a small diesel supermini. The annual increments between tests are steady: 11,789 miles between the February 2025 and March 2026 tests, 7,811 miles between the February 2024 and February 2025 tests, and 21,615 miles between the April 2022 and February 2024 tests. That larger gap between 2022 and 2024 likely reflects a period of lighter use or the vehicle standing for stretches, which can introduce its own concerns such as deteriorated rubber components, stale fuel, or surface corrosion on brake discs from prolonged parking. The 2025-02-03 failure at 127,120 miles recorded no defects, suggesting a procedural or administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass on 2025-02-15 at 127,554 miles confirms the issue was resolved immediately. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas that MOT tests do not fully stress. The 139,342-mile figure on a fifteen-year-old diesel means the turbocharger, dual-mass flywheel, and diesel particulate filter have endured significant thermal cycling. Check for excessive blue or white smoke on cold start, clutch slip under load, and any rattling from the flywheel at idle. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers will have aged beyond their design life even if they pass a stationary inspection, so a road test over broken surfaces is essential. Inspect the underside for structural corrosion on subframes, sills, and brake lines, particularly given the vehicle's age and the possibility of long stationary periods. Tyre condition and date codes should also be verified, as older rubber degrades regardless of tread depth.
