2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · CN02 BAR

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 18 July 2025 at 15,132 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating the car has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,513 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2025, the odometer moved from 11,145 to 15,132 miles, confirming a pattern of very light use. While the lack of defects is positive, such low annual mileage often suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. The lack of MOT advisories does not rule out perishing rubber seals, hardened suspension bushes, or tyre sidewall cracking due to age. Check for signs of brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust and seized components. Verify the fluid conditions and battery health during a test drive. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 13 July 2023 at 12,333 miles, though the lack of recorded defects suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue. Given the low mileage, ensure the engine reaches operating temperature correctly and that there are no signs of moisture buildup in the exhaust system.
