2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Diesel · ND63 MHJ

The most recent MOT on 2024-12-04 recorded a minor defect: slight play in the front track rod end ball joint, which is a suspension component affecting steering stability. This was the only defect noted in the last four MOTs, which otherwise showed no issues. The prior MOTs from 2023 and 2022 were entirely clean, while the 2021-09-24 MOT failed due to both rear tyres having tread below the legal limit. The pattern shows no recurring mechanical issues beyond the 2024 track rod end defect and a single tyre-related failure in 2021. The 2024 defect is isolated, and there is no evidence of escalating problems in subsequent inspections. However, the gap between the last MOT (2024) and the current date (2026) means the vehicle has not been tested for over 18 months, leaving potential issues unverified. The recorded mileage of 81,046 miles for a 12-year-old vehicle aligns with an average of ~6,754 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests neither excessive wear nor prolonged under-use. However, without recent inspections, it is unclear if components like brakes, suspension, or tyres have deteriorated since 2024. A buyer should prioritize checking the front suspension, particularly the track rod end and associated steering components, for further play or damage.
