2016 SEAT IBIZA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its history of consecutive passes. The most recent MOT test on 28 May 2025 at 94,131 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure one day prior at the same mileage. This specific sequence suggests an administrative oversight or a minor component issue that was immediately rectified before retest rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without recorded advisories or failures, indicating a consistent level of upkeep. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per annum. Between May 2022 (63,368 miles) and May 2025 (94,131 miles), the car covered over 30,000 miles, reflecting typical annual usage patterns for a small hatchback. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often leads to seized seals or perished rubber, nor has it been subjected to excessive strain that would accelerate drivetrain wear. While the MOT record shows no recurring structural corrosion or mechanical failures, a buyer should still physically inspect the vehicle for common wear associated with the 100,000-mile threshold. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these often degrade around this mileage despite a clean history. Given the lack of advisories, check the brake discs for thinning or pitting and inspect the calipers for binding to ensure the previous owner has maintained the components beyond the minimum requirements of the annual test.
