2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · GG13 ALL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT test on 19 December 2025 at 168,057 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has demonstrated a pattern of immediate rectification following initial failures. While the record shows failures in both December 2023 and December 2025, the subsequent passes on the very same days suggest that the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified defects to maintain legal compliance rather than allowing them to escalate into mechanical failure. The mileage profile indicates intensive usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. With 168,057 miles recorded, the car has averaged approximately 18,673 miles per year, which is significantly above the national average for a passenger petrol car. Between December 2023 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 20,332 miles in just over two years. This rapid accumulation of mileage places high stress on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system. While the clean MOT results show no outstanding advisories, the sheer volume of travel means that components are nearing the end of their service lives. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the high-wear areas that typically degrade under high mileage. Given the usage, a thorough check of the front suspension arms and shock absorbers is essential to look for play or perished seals. The braking system should be evaluated for thin discs or signs of seizing, as high-mileage vehicles often suffer accelerated hardware wear. Although the MOT history shows no structural corrosion yet, a visual inspection of the underbody and rear sills remains necessary to ensure that the high-frequency use has not led to undetected impact damage or rust.
