2021 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · PH12 COP

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following the test on 26 January 2026 at 28,021 miles, where it passed with two advisories. The maintenance trend is stable in terms of test outcomes, as all tests since 2024 resulted in a pass after the initial 2025 failure was rectified. However, the recurring nature of specific faults indicates a persistent underlying issue rather than a resolution. The most recent test flagged a slight play in the offside rear wheel bearing and an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, continuing a pattern of uneven tyre wear observed since at least January 2024. The recorded mileage of 28,021 miles over approximately five years is low, averaging roughly 5,600 miles annually. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing with no significant gaps, and the mileage increments between tests are modest and consistent with this low annual average. This suggests the vehicle has not suffered from high-mileage wear but does not preclude problems arising from long periods of standing or specific component degradation. The sparse data points do not indicate rapid accumulation, but the consistent low use contrasts with the progressive tyre wear pattern. A buyer must inspect the suspension and steering geometry in person, as the repeated advisories for tyres worn on the edge—specifically the nearside rear inner and offside front—strongly suggest a persistent wheel alignment or suspension component issue. The nearside rear inner tyre was noted in both the 2025 fail and subsequent pass, and the offside front tyre appeared in the 2024 and 2026 tests. Furthermore, the new advisory for slight play in the offside rear wheel bearing requires immediate physical verification for any grinding noise or roughness when rotating the wheel by hand, as this component will inevitably worsen. The 2025 headlamp aim failure, though corrected, also warrants a check for correct beam pattern during a night-time inspection.
