2010 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · ML60 WSO

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 23 December 2025 at 75,091 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the three years of records. The December 2025 test came just five days after a failure on 18 December 2025 at 75,069 miles, though the DVSA entry logs no defects for either event. A prior failure on 3 December 2024 at 71,478 miles also records no defects yet preceded a same-day pass. These clean advisories and repeated no-defect failures suggest administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decline. The odometer shows 75,091 miles against a 2010 build, equating to roughly 4,693 miles per year. The car covered only 3,613 miles between the December 2023 pass at 68,194 miles and the December 2024 test, then 3,613 miles again to the December 2025 pass. Such low annual use over sixteen years points to light running or extended standing periods. The record is sparse, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage, which limits insight into wear patterns but indicates no flagged structural or mechanical risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Long stationary intervals common at this mileage accelerate subframe corrosion and perish rubber components such as suspension bushes and droplink gaiters even when MOT entries stay clean. The twin no-defect failures in December 2024 and December 2025 warrant confirmation that the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA log, since a genuine failure with no recorded defect is irregular. Check the braking system for seized calipers or degraded hoses from disuse, and verify tyre sidewall condition given the car may retain aged rubber. The absence of advisories does not override the need for a independent mechanical appraisal before purchase.
