2007 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · LT57 CGF

This Seat Ibiza has maintained a clean MOT record over the past three years, with the most recent test in June 2025 at 125,515 miles passing without any defects. The trend is stable, showing no signs of recurring mechanical issues or deteriorating components. The June 2023 double entry—one pass and one fail at the same mileage—is anomalous and likely a clerical error, as no defects were recorded in either instance. This consistency suggests the vehicle has either been well-maintained or has simply avoided major wear items, though the lack of advisories means some deferred maintenance could be lurking. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging around 6,606 miles per year. The gaps between tests are standard, with annual checks confirming no sudden spikes in usage. The 15,086-mile jump between the 2022 and 2023 tests (90,181 to 98,845 miles) aligns with normal annual mileage, while the 12,594-mile increase from 2023 to 2024 (98,845 to 110,439) and the 15,076-mile rise to 2025 (110,439 to 125,515) reinforce this pattern. There’s no evidence of prolonged storage or heavy usage, though the absence of advisories may mask minor wear. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. While no MOT failures were recorded, binding calipers or uneven brake wear could have been missed, so a brake system check—including discs, pads, and hydraulic fluid—is essential. Structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts, should be examined closely, as rust can compromise safety without immediately failing an MOT. The exhaust system’s condition, including mounts and silencer integrity, also warrants attention, as leaks or deterioration often go unnoticed until they cause emissions or noise issues. Tyre condition and tread depth must be verified, as the MOT history provides no insight into their current state.
