2020 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · ML20 AAJ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status as evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 29 December 2025 at 17,818 miles. While the car passed the inspection, the tester flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing signs of edge wear. This indicates that while the mechanical components remain functional, basic consumable maintenance is reaching a point that requires immediate attention to prevent a failure in subsequent tests. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between June 2023 at 6,481 miles and December 2024 at 7,585 miles, where the car covered only 1,100 miles in over eighteen months. This low usage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but such long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, flat spots on tyres, and surface corrosion on brake discs due to lack of regular friction. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry specifically to determine if the edge wear noted on the nearside tyre is caused by an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the low mileage and age, it is also vital to check the brake calipers for seizing or excessive pitting which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary. The overall structural integrity appears sound based on the records, but the condition of the tyres and the state of fluids remain the primary concerns for future roadworthiness.
