2018 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · ML18 LSC

This SEAT Ibiza has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, all passing cleanly at the April 2026 inspection. The most recent test on 7 April 2026 at 55,613 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, with no advisories or major failings to suggest imminent mechanical failure. The absence of recurring faults or advisory notes over this period indicates the vehicle has likely undergone regular servicing, though the record does not provide service intervals or specific maintenance details. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,952 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity between tests, suggesting the car has been driven consistently rather than stored or underused. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the April 2022 (29,095 miles) and April 2023 (36,025 miles) tests, adding 6,930 miles in a year, which remains within expected wear parameters for a car of this class. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not directly tested by the MOT. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—as these often degrade gradually without immediate MOT failings. The braking system, including rear caliper binding (a common silent failure) and front/rear disc thickness, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has experienced wet or salted road exposure. Examine the subframe and wheel arches for corrosion, as this model is prone to structural weakening in those areas over time. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or rusted joints, as emissions-related faults can arise without triggering an MOT fail. The absence of advisories or defects does not preclude the need for thorough visual and functional checks, particularly on components beyond the MOT’s scope. A pre-purchase inspection will confirm whether the vehicle’s underlying condition matches the record’s clean history.
