2012 SEAT Ibiza 1.6L Diesel · NA12 OHD

The 2012 SEAT Ibiza presents a consistent history of roadworthiness over the recent years. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 November 2024 at 86,892 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards at that time. This follows a period of clean passes in late 2023 and mid-2023, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that does not currently suffer from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation issues. At 86,892 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical light usage patterns for a car of this age. The data shows a significant gap between the December 2023 test at 65,700 miles and the November 2024 test at 86,892 miles, covering over 21,000 miles in eleven months. While lower mileage reduces wear on drivetrain components, it can lead to degradation of rubber-based suspension bushes and brake seals due to age. The lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests these components have remained in a functional condition despite the vehicle's age. The record is remarkably stable following a failure recorded in July 2022 at 59,221 miles. Since that point, every subsequent test has passed without any advisories, which is uncommon for a vehicle of this age regarding brake calipers or exhaust corrosion. A buyer should still verify the physical condition of the brake discs and tyre tread, as the MOT does not measure the depth of these consumables unless they reach legal limits. Overall, the documented history indicates a vehicle that has been kept in good working order without the red flags of chronic neglect.
