2021 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · WA03 ABY

The Seat Ibiza presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent test on 20 February 2026 at 21,421 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the four-year MOT span is stable, showing no recurring mechanical or structural faults. A failure on 22 February 2024 at 12,768 miles listed no defects, and the vehicle passed two days later on 24 February 2024 at identical mileage, indicating the earlier outcome was procedural rather than a fault-based rejection. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical averages for a five-year-old hatchback. The record shows 12,768 miles at the February 2024 tests, rising to 18,138 miles by 11 February 2025 and 21,421 miles by 20 February 2026. That equates to roughly 4,284 miles per year, confirming light use. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear; the sparse but clean history suggests the previous keeper limited mileage and kept statutory testing discipline. Given the absence of advisories or defects across all passes, the buyer faces low immediate risk from worn consumables or structural corrosion. The February 2024 failure with no defects recorded warrants a check of test documentation to confirm it was not a mislogged examination. In person, the buyer should still examine suspension bushes, brake discs and calipers for age-related stiffness, and inspect the underside for corrosion despite low mileage, as prolonged standing can promote seizing. Low mileage can mask degraded fluids and flat-spotted tyres from storage. A pre-purchase inspection should verify service history, assess tyre sidewall condition, and confirm emissions compliance under load. No evidence suggests worsening trends; the Ibiza remains a sound candidate pending physical verification.
