2021 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · SP71 UPT

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 29 September 2025 at 26,938 miles returning a clean pass with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on 23 September 2024 at 17,331 miles also passed without advisories or failures. Two consecutive clean certificates indicate no recurring mechanical or structural faults, suggesting consistent upkeep and no emerging deterioration in core safety systems. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2021-registered vehicle. Between the September 2024 test and the September 2025 test, the odometer advanced by 9,607 miles, which is higher than the long-term average of roughly 5,388 miles per year. This suggests a shift from very light use to more regular driving in the past twelve months. The gap between the two recorded tests is exactly one year, with no missing entries, so the history is complete and consistent. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly on suspension mounting points, brake lines, and the exhaust system, as low-mileage vehicles that stand for extended periods can develop surface rust even without an MOT advisory. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for perishing, as age-related degradation can occur independently of tread depth. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding, since infrequent use can lead to caliper seizure or disc corrosion that may not always trigger an immediate MOT failure. The suspension and steering components deserve close attention. With only two recorded tests and no advisories, there is no documented evidence of worn bushes, leaking dampers, or damaged coil springs, but a physical inspection over a ramp will confirm this. Test the operation of all lights, wipers, and washers, and verify that the exhaust emissions remain stable under load. The clean record is encouraging, but a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to confirm that the mechanical condition matches the paper history.
