2012 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · RC03 ANT

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 August 2025 at 58,936 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The August 2025 pass came one day after a 31 July 2025 failure at 58,935 miles that recorded no defects, mirroring an earlier pattern where a 22 June 2024 failure at 52,934 miles with no defects preceded a 8 July 2024 pass at the same mileage. These back-to-back fail-pass pairs with zero listed faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration, and the vehicle shows no worsening condition over the three-year span. The odometer sat at 52,372 miles for the April 2023 test, then rose only 562 miles to 52,934 by June 2024, and gained a further 6,002 miles by August 2025. At roughly 4,210 miles per year against a 14-year life, this is low mileage for the age, pointing to light use or extended standing periods. The clean record with no advisories on corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across all entries indicates the previous owner kept basic test standards met, though the sparse gap between 2023 and 2024 tests leaves limited visibility on interim wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods of inactivity that MOT snapshots cannot capture. The recurring no-defect failures on 31 July 2025 and 22 June 2024 warrant confirmation that no latent binding calipers, coil spring fatigue, or tyre tread concerns were overlooked during those presentations. Verify the brake system and suspension components directly, as low annual mileage often masks seized linkages or flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage.
