2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · CV66 NHX

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 23 September 2025 at 28,398 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The test sheet shows no defects at any stage, and the latest pass confirms the car met emissions and structural standards at ten years of age. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed on 23 September 2025 at 28,395 miles yet the record lists no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 2,840 miles per year against the 2016 build date, a low figure for a supermini of this age. The records move from 24,014 miles at the September 2023 test to 26,436 miles at the September 2024 failure, then 26,514 miles at the October 2024 pass, and finally 28,398 miles by September 2025. That equates to around 2,400 to 1,900 miles added each year, with no sudden accumulation or extended gaps beyond the two-week retest in 2024. The clean sheets across all entries suggest light use and no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent advisories. Low-mileage cars left standing often develop perished rubber components, seized calipers, or surface rust on sills and subframes not yet caught by the tester. The duplicate September 2025 entries and the 2024 fail with zero defects point to clerical quirks at the testing station rather than owner neglect, but verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm the readings are genuine. Given the sparse and clean record, focus the viewing on cold-start behaviour, handbrake travel, and underbody condition. The Ibiza shows no worsening pattern and no recurring mechanical trend, so risk rests with age-related deterioration invisible at the current mileage rather than documented fault history.
