MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Seat Ibiza (S566 BUF) between January 2007 and November 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 13 failures.

The most recent test on 14 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 13 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (40 issues), Brakes (18 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (13 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Suspension (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 80 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Emissions not tested (8.2.1.2 (d))”; “Offside Front Headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a))”.
