2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · DM53 ABS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, following its most recent MOT on January 8, 2026, at 74,875 miles. This pass showed no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in early January 2025, the immediate retest pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the identified faults promptly rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between the 2023 test at 62,956 miles and the 2026 test at 74,875 miles, the car covered roughly 12,000 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. This lack of rapid mileage accumulation reduces the theoretical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to rubber-based components drying out over time. Given the clean nature of the most recent three-defect-free tests, a buyer should still focus a physical inspection on components that wear outside of MOT testing parameters. Examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any state of perishation or cracking, as the record does not flag these as advisories. Check the brake discs for uneven wear or excessive pitting, and inspect the underside for early signs of corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the vehicle's age.
