2022 Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0L Petrol · D14 NKG

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 84,200 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 27 August 2024 at 67,492 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried forward. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across the available history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2016 car, averaging roughly 8,420 miles per year against the 84,200 miles recorded. The records show a steady climb: 47,781 miles on 25 January 2023, 52,220 miles by 21 August 2023, then 67,482 miles at the failed test on 22 August 2024 and 67,492 miles when it passed five days later on 27 August 2024. The gap between the January 2023 and August 2023 tests reflects lighter early-year use, but no excessive standing or abrupt high-mileage spikes appear in the data. The sparse record contains no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car is now ten years old, as MOT passes with no defects do not rule out early surface rust the tester judged below fail threshold. The August 2024 fail with no defects logged suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component, yet the near-identical mileage across the two August 2024 tests implies the owner addressed a paperwork or identification issue swiftly rather than deferring repair. Given the clean trajectory, focus the viewing on consumable wear not captured by the tests: tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and brake pad life. The lack of recurring faults points to reasonable upkeep by previous keepers, but independent verification of the exhaust emissions and binding calipers remains sensible on a vehicle of this age.
