2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · DP16 CJO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 12 June 2025 at 40,615 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just two days prior at the same mileage. This isolated failure without recorded defects suggests a potential administrative error or a minor item that was rectified immediately before the retest. Beyond this anomaly, the car has maintained a clean mechanical profile across its annual inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the car covered 11,121 miles, moving from 29,494 to 40,615 miles. This low usage rate typically indicates reduced wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components. However, low-mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of components that rely on regular motion, such as perished seals, dry bushes, or seized brake calipers due to inactivity. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on signs of age-related wear in rubber components and fluids. Given the low annual mileage, check the suspension bushes for cracking and the tyre sidewalls for flat rot despite adequate tread depth. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs on vehicles that sit stationary. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, the overall record suggests a vehicle that has been used sparingly rather than heavily worked.
