2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · WL66 AAZ

The December 2025 MOT at 85,554 miles passed, but the tester flagged light oil misting on both front shock absorbers, worn suspension bushes, and rear sub‑frame corrosion, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy yet shows recurring mechanical wear. The pattern of repeated advisories on suspension components and brake discs suggests a stable but deteriorating condition rather than improvement. The mileage record shows a steady increase from 27,333 miles in December 2019 to 85,554 miles in December 2025, averaging about 8,555 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old car. No extended periods of low mileage are evident; the largest jumps occur between 2020 and 2021 (10,633 miles) and 2021 and 2022 (11,591 miles), indicating consistent driving rather than long idle periods. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front shock absorbers for oil leakage, examine the front and rear suspension bushes and strut pins for excessive play, verify brake disc thickness and surface condition for deep pitting, and check the rear sub‑frame for progressive corrosion; additionally, the front service brake binding noted in 2024 warrants a close look at caliper operation and brake pad wear.
