2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · KY66 ADV

The SEAT Ibiza presents a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests, the most recent of which took place on 10 September 2025 at 64,080 miles . This consistent pass rate, spanning from 2021 to 2025, indicates stable roadworthiness with no recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or minor defects suggests either meticulous maintenance by previous owners or, less likely, a vehicle that has aged well with minimal wear. Given the three-year gap since the last test until today, a pre-purchase inspection should prioritise components prone to latent issues—such as suspension integrity, brake fluid condition, and tyre wear—though the MOT record provides no prior warning signs of deterioration. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 6,400 miles per year over the past five tests. There are no sudden spikes or drops in mileage that might suggest irregular use, such as prolonged storage or heavy commuting. The incremental increases—from 42,983 miles in 2021 to 64,080 miles in 2025 —reflect steady, moderate driving conditions. This pattern reduces the likelihood of accelerated wear on high-stress components like the drivetrain or exhaust, though it does not eliminate the need for a thorough check of consumables. Given the lack of historical defects, a buyer should still verify the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs , as these can degrade without triggering an MOT failure. The brake system , including calipers, discs, and fluid, should be inspected for binding or uneven wear, even though no issues were flagged in the past. Exhaust emissions and structural corrosion —particularly around wheel arches, sills, and underbody—should be scrutinised, as these areas can develop hidden rust or leaks over time. The tyres , while not recorded in the MOT, should meet the legal tread depth of 1.6mm and show no signs of uneven wear or cracking. Finally, the electrical system —including lights, sensors, and battery health—should be tested, as minor electrical faults often go unnoticed until they escalate. While the MOT history is reassuring, a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s current condition, especially given the three-year interval since the last test.
