2012 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · YC62 YFS

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a period of inconsistent compliance. The most recent inspection conducted on 7 August 2025 at 74,635 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that all mechanical and safety components met the minimum standard. While the history shows failures in both 2023 and 2024, the immediate passes following those failures suggest the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than ignoring them. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,331 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the car covered only 1,482 miles, while the interval between August 2024 and August 2025 saw an increase of 1,437 miles. This low usage suggests short-distance commuting or long periods of inactivity, which can sometimes lead to the premature degradation of rubber components, such as seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes, despite the low mechanical wear on the engine. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the previous failures in 2023 and 2024, as the specific reasons for those defects are not detailed in the summary. Given the low mileage and age, it is vital to check for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills, as rust often affects vehicles that sit stationary. Examine the tyres for sidewall spotting or cracking and inspect the brake discs for surface pitting to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in neglect of the braking components.
