2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · SM16 XML

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-13 recorded several issues, including a cut on the offside front tyre that did not reach the ply or cords, both front tyres worn close to the legal limit or on the edge, and a slightly noisy offside front wheel bearing. These findings suggest ongoing wear on tyres and potential early signs of suspension component fatigue. The tyre conditions indicate regular use, while the wheel bearing noise may signal developing mechanical stress. A recurring pattern of brake disc wear, pitting, or scoring has been documented since 2022, affecting both front and rear discs. While none of these issues were classified as serious, their persistence across multiple MOTs implies gradual deterioration. The 2024 and 2025 reports specifically noted brake discs corroded or worn beyond safe limits, with no evidence of significant repairs or replacements in the history. This suggests the vehicle may have experienced consistent braking demands, possibly from urban driving or heavy stop-start use. The mileage of 63,057 miles over 10 years aligns with average annual usage, indicating neither excessive wear nor prolonged inactivity. However, the repeated brake disc issues and tyre wear could reflect higher-than-expected mechanical strain, potentially accelerating component degradation. No major defects or safety-critical faults were recorded in the latest MOT, but the cumulative history highlights maintenance needs rather than immediate risks.
