2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · GU16 YRL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its annual inspections. The most recent test on 18 April 2025 at 76,240 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While the record shows two failures immediately prior to passes, the lack of recurring advisories in the final tests suggests that identified issues were rectified promptly rather than representing a trend of worsening mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between April 2023 at 64,156 miles and April 2025 at 76,240 miles, the car covered roughly 12,000 miles, reflecting a steady and moderate use. This level of mileage typically reduces stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. The gap between the last MOT in April 2025 and today's date falls well within the expected window for annual testing, showing no significant neglect. A buyer should focus on the specific reasons for the failures in April 2023 and April 2025, as the record does not detail the defects that caused them. These failures often pertain to minor items like light bulbs, wiper blades, or exhaust emissions that were corrected before the retest. Given the clean passes thereafter, a physical inspection should primarily check for surface corrosion on the underbody and the condition of suspension bushes to ensure no hidden structural wear has developed since the last recorded test.
