2010 SEAT Ibiza 1.9L Diesel · FV10 AFA

This 2010 SEAT Ibiza presents a clean MOT record with no defects or advisories recorded at its last test in July 2023 at 109,643 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and well-managed, as the vehicle has passed all recent inspections without any flagged concerns. However, the most recent test is now three years old, meaning the current mechanical condition is unverified and should be treated with caution. The recorded mileage of 109,643 miles over 16 years equates to roughly 6,850 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests consistent, moderate use. The annual mileage between tests is low, averaging around 1,500 to 2,800 miles per year from 2021 to 2023. This pattern indicates the car was likely used for short local trips or light commuting. There are no large gaps in testing or sudden mileage spikes, which points to regular use and conscientious ownership. Given the clean MOT history and the age of the last test, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on components that degrade with time and low-mileage use. Check for binding brake calipers, corroded brake discs, and perished suspension bushes or coil springs, as these are common issues on a 16-year-old vehicle. Also inspect for structural corrosion, particularly on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points. Tyre age and condition should be verified, as the car may have been standing for periods. A thorough mechanical inspection is essential to confirm the car’s current roadworthiness.
