2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · FH16 DSX

The 2016 SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 20,452 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 16,608 miles at the 1 September 2022 test, rising to 17,193 by 23 January 2023, then 18,118 on 18 September 2023, 19,623 on 16 September 2024, and 20,452 on 29 September 2025. That equates to roughly 2,045 miles per year. The DVSA data contains no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes, and every entry lists zero advisories, so the file is sparse but consistently clean. A buyer should still arrange an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as a low-use vehicle kept standing for long periods can develop hidden rust on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points that a pass with no defects would not capture. The tester raised no concerns on coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, yet these components degrade with age regardless of miles covered. Given the absence of any flagged binding calipers, worn tyres, or failed emissions, previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current. Verify the car has not simply been parked unused between tests by checking service stamps and interrogating the condition of perishable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and brake fluid that fall outside MOT scope.
