2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · X21 UNS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 1 December 2025. The maintenance trend appears technically stable, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful repairs. The car failed its test in both November 2024 and November 2025, only to pass just days later each time. This suggests the previous owner addressed specific faults only when compelled to do so by an MOT failure, rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. At 74,640 miles, the Ibiza averages approximately 7,464 miles per year, which aligns perfectly with typical UK usage patterns for a ten-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows consistent attendance, with tests performed annually between December 2023 and December 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, indicating the vehicle has not sat for long periods, though the low mileage relative to its age means that rubber components and suspension bushings may be subject to age regardless of the low mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that triggered the back-to-back failures. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the history indicates a need to scrutinise the suspension system and brake components. Check for signs of weeping shock absorbers or play in the control arm bushes, as these are common culprits for sudden MOT failures. Given the vehicle's age, verifying the structural integrity of the sills and mounting points is essential to ensure that no hidden corrosion is developing beneath the surface despite the clean recent reports.
