2006 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · SB06 AWX

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 90,721 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 8 October 2024 at 89,757 miles, immediately retested the same day at 89,758 miles and passed with no defects logged, which suggests an administrative or minor pre-check rejection rather than a substantive mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 90,721 against a 2006 build date, an average of roughly 4,536 miles per year. The odometer moved just 872 miles between the 1 November 2023 test and the 8 October 2024 test, and only 963 miles across the following year to October 2025. Such low annual use over two decades points to light running or extended periods off the road. The DVSA data shows no gaps in annual testing, but the sparse, clean record gives limited insight into component-level wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as low-mileage cars left standing often develop perished rubber and surface rust unseen by the MOT tester. Brake discs and calipers warrant checking for seizure after long idle spells, despite no binding or efficiency advisories in the history. The absence of recurring advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity is a positive signal of basic upkeep. Given the clean recent record, the Ibiza is a low-risk used purchase, provided a independent inspection confirms no hidden corrosion or degraded consumables from its sedentary use.
