2020 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · DB02 LOU

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 22,218 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean history across three consecutive annual examinations. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally light use for a six-year-old vehicle. The record shows 12,580 miles at the 5 December 2023 test, rising to 18,891 miles by 6 December 2024 and 22,218 miles by 5 December 2025. That equates to roughly 3,700 miles per year, confirming the car has covered less than half typical annual distance. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data; the three tests span evenly with clean results each time, suggesting the vehicle spent long periods stationary between short journeys. A buyer should still inspect the car in person despite the clean record. Low mileage combined with standing time accelerates perishable component degradation that MOT tests may not catch between visits. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking from inactivity, and inspect brake discs for surface corrosion or binding calipers caused by disuse. Examine underbody and sill structure for early rust, and verify tyre sidewalls for age-related perishing even where tread remains legal. The absence of advisories across all three tests implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the sparse history offers limited insight into consumable condition. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible given the car's low-use profile and the two-year gap since its earliest recorded test.
