2011 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · SW11 DOJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The test conducted on 3 July 2025 at 104,736 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the minimum safety standards. While the car did fail once in July 2024, the immediate retest success that same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between July 2022 at 92,278 miles and July 2025 at 104,736 miles, the car covered 12,458 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of sitting stationary, which is often beneficial for the preservation of seals, gaskets, and rubber components. The lack of significant gaps in mileage data indicates the vehicle has remained in consistent service over the last three years. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation despite the low mileage. The clean MOT records do not account for the condition of suspension bushes or coil springs, which can perish or fatigue over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion on the sills and exhaust mounting, as the MOT only flags structural issues once they reach a failure threshold. Given the vehicle's age, checking for brake fluid moisture content and inspecting calipers for binding is also advisable to ensure the system remains as effective as the test record suggests.
