2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · FA16 WLC

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 18,046 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to June 2021, indicating a car that has been maintained to a high standard or has seen very little demanding use. The mileage is remarkably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,805 miles per year. Progression has been steady and linear, moving from 11,786 miles in June 2021 to 18,046 miles by June 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing cycle, which suggests the car has been used for short, infrequent trips rather than sitting dormant for years at a time. Despite the flawless record, the low mileage introduces specific risks that a buyer must verify during a physical inspection. Vehicles with such limited use often suffer from perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, regardless of tread depth. The lack of recorded brake defects is positive, but the low usage increases the likelihood of binding calipers or pitted brake discs due to inactivity and moisture buildup. A physical check should focus on the health of the battery and the condition of the fluids. Long periods of light use can lead to oil sludge or moisture contamination in the engine. Inspect the tyres for age-related cracking and ensure the brakes operate smoothly without sticking. While the DVSA records show no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, these low-mileage specific wear points are the only remaining variables.
