2015 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · KW64 CME

The 2015 SEAT Ibiza’s most recent MOT test on 26 August 2025—just under a year ago—shows a clean pass with no defects recorded, despite a duplicate entry suggesting an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. The preceding tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed without fail, indicating no recurring or escalating faults were detected by the tester. However, the lack of advisories or defects across all five tests does not preclude underlying issues, particularly given the vehicle’s age and the unusual dual-entry pattern at the latest test date. Buyers should verify whether the duplicate was a genuine retest or a data error, as this could imply inconsistent record-keeping. The recorded mileage of 62,487 miles over 11 years—approximately 5,680 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either minimal use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between tests is consistent at one year, with no rapid mileage jumps or extended periods without servicing. While low mileage can reduce wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes or drivetrain seals, it may also indicate deferred maintenance, such as neglected fluid changes or corrosion prevention. The absence of advisories for items like tyre tread or brake wear does not guarantee these have been consistently attended to, so buyers should scrutinise these further. Given the lack of recorded defects, the most critical areas for a buyer to inspect in person are the suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—and the brake system. The 2023 and 2024 tests occurred at 54,613 and 58,835 miles respectively, meaning the rear brakes and discs have likely seen significant use without failings being logged. Binding calipers or uneven wear on the brake pads could have gone unnoticed if the vehicle was driven gently. Additionally, the underbody should be examined for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediately failing an MOT. The dual-entry anomaly at the latest test warrants confirmation from the seller regarding any retest or servicing undertaken between tests.
