2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · PY16 LOJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having a clean pass in its most recent test in December 2025 at 91,103 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of mechanical neglect in late 2024. While the car previously suffered multiple mechanical and safety failures simultaneously, the subsequent two annual tests with no recorded defects indicate that the owner addressed the previous faults and since maintained the vehicle to a stable standard. At 91,103 miles over ten years, the Ibiza has averaged approximately 9,100 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a hatchback of this age. The data shows consistent driving intervals, with 5,275 miles covered between January and December 2024, and another 4,791 miles followed by the 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent brake corrosion and battery degradation. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the front suspension and steering components, given the November 2024 failure for an excessively worn nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint. Although the offside rear service brake was flagged as binding during that same test, the buyer should verify that the caliper moves freely and that the disc shows no uneven wear or heat scoring. The previous failure for an unacceptable windscreen also suggests the glass may have been replaced or repaired, so it should be checked for any new chips or cracks in the driver's line of vision.
