2010 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · RJ10 THG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent DVSA test data. The latest test conducted in February 2026 at 95,713 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a consistent period of clean passes since an initial failure in 2022. This trend suggests that the previous owners have addressed necessary repairs promptly and that the mechanical condition has maintained acceptable operational standards over the last four years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows a steady rate of use, with a 3,050-mile interval between June 2023 and February 2025, and another 7,498 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or dry seal damage, which the MOT record does not fully capture. Despite the clean records in the most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age-related failure rather than mileage-related wear. The buyer should specifically examine the chassis for corrosion and the suspension bushes for cracking, as these often perish on older vehicles regardless of distance driven. Given the vehicle's age, it is also prudent to check for brake fluid oxidation and the condition of the tyres to ensure that the low usage has not resulted in flat spotting or perished sidewalls.
