2018 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · SC67 JYR

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 7 May 2026 with no defects recorded. Reviewing the full history since 2021, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable. Aside from a single failure in January 2023 due to a non-functional windscreen washer, the car has consistently passed its inspections without any recorded advisories. This suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained and kept in a roadworthy condition without the emergence of systemic mechanical failures or progressive wear issues. With a recorded mileage of 51,967 miles over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,496 miles per year. This usage rate is considered typical for its age and indicates a balanced duty cycle. It avoids the excessive wear on suspension bushes, engine internals, and drivetrain components associated with high-mileage examples, while remaining active enough to avoid the stagnation issues often found in very low-mileage vehicles. Given the remarkably clean MOT history, the buyer should focus on time-based degradation rather than failure-driven repairs. It is essential to inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades with age regardless of the remaining tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure there are no binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary between short trips. Further attention should be paid to the service history to confirm that fluid changes have been performed according to the manufacturer calendar intervals rather than just mileage. Brake fluid and engine coolant degrade over time and should be verified for freshness. Finally, test the health of the 12V battery and inspect the engine bay for any signs of weeping seals or perished hoses, which are common age-related occurrences for a vehicle of this vintage.
