2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · DF66 FPJ

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 July 2026 at 91,072 miles with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend following a period of more frequent failures and advisories. While the history shows a history of wear and tear, the two most recent tests are clean, indicating that the current owner has addressed identified faults and maintained the vehicle to a passing standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between December 2023 and January 2025, where the car covered over 12,000 miles in thirteen months, followed by a more consistent accumulation of roughly 13,000 miles between August 2025 and July 2026. This suggests the car is used for regular daily commuting, which explains the accelerated wear on consumable components noted in the earlier records. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, as shock absorbers show a recurring history of failure. The record notes light misting in 2019, which progressed to serious fluid leaks by December 2022. Although these were likely replaced, a physical inspection should verify there are no new signs of oil leakage or poor damping. Similarly, the offside front CV boot which was flagged as severely deteriorated in January 2025 should be checked for fresh grease leakage or rubber tearing to prevent potential joint failure. The braking system also shows a history of requiring attention, with pitted discs and thin pads flagged across 2021, 2022, and 2025. While the latest test passed without issue, the buyer should inspect the thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs. The history of failing on low tyre tread in 2021 and 2025 suggests a pattern of delaying maintenance until the MOT test forces action, so verifying the current tread depth and age of all tyres is essential before purchase.
