2021 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · YL21 HYR

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the MOT history indicates a trend of neglect regarding consumable maintenance. The most recent test in November 2025 at 28,138 miles passed without mechanical failures, yet the tester flagged both rear tyres as being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This suggests that while the mechanical components are currently passing, the owner has deferred routine tyre replacements until they became critical. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 22,251 miles and the November 2025 test, the car covered only 5,887 miles. This consistent, low-mileage usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it can also lead to flat spotting on tyres or perished rubber components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between journeys. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for signs of perishing, as the 2024 record already noted a sidewall crack on the nearside front tyre. The uneven edge wear reported on the rear tyres in 2025 indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that requires immediate attention to prevent rapid degradation of new rubber. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from significant rust buildup on the rotors.
