2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · DH65 FJC

This SEAT Ibiza demonstrates a consistent record of roadworthiness, having secured four consecutive MOT passes without a single defect or advisory recorded. This stability is evidenced in the most recent test on 1 December 2025, confirming a vehicle that has remained mechanically compliant with DVSA standards over several years without the typical wear and tear flags seen in vehicles of this vintage. The recorded mileage of 54,422 miles is significantly lower than the UK average for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,442 miles per annum. Such a low accumulation rate suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to the heavy wear associated with long-distance commuting or high-intensity urban use, which generally preserves the longevity of the drivetrain and interior trim. Given the absence of recorded defects, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be on the current condition of the consumables. A test drive should be used to verify the smoothness of the gear transitions and the absence of any steering eccentricity or suspension knocks, which would be unexpected given the clean DVSA history. Pay close attention to the brake pedal feel to ensure there is no binding or unevenness, as components that are infrequently used can occasionally seize. Final verification should include a visual check of the underbody for any signs of corrosion that may not have reached the threshold of an MOT failure but could impact long-term structural integrity. Ensure the engine reaches operating temperature without fluctuations in the idle or unusual vibrations, confirming that the low-mileage drivetrain remains in peak mechanical health.
