2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · DC16 KTN

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 May 2025 at 77,669 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault with the vehicle. Across the prior three years the car passed cleanly, showing no advisories or worsening condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,767 per year against a ten-year-old car, which is typical for the age. The records show 43,403 miles in May 2022, 57,962 in May 2023, 68,065 in May 2024, and 77,669 in May 2025. The accumulation is steady at around 10,000 miles annually with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, recording no advisories across any entry, so the history alone reveals little about wear on consumables or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the lack of recorded advisories offers no insight into their current state. The clean MOT run suggests previous owners kept the car to minimum legal standards, but absence of flagged corrosion or exhaust emissions issues does not confirm structural integrity underneath. Given the 2025 same-day fail with no defects, verify the failure reason on the DVLA portal before purchase. At 77,669 miles the drivetrain and clutch remain untested by MOT criteria, so a road test is advised to assess gearbox and engine mounts.
