2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · YM16 LLR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing MOT tests. The most recent inspection conducted on June 2, 2025 at 32,444 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. Following a single failure in May 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean record, suggesting that the previous owner addressed identified issues promptly and maintained the mechanical integrity. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,244 miles annually. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the car covered only 3,265 miles, confirming a history of infrequent use or long stationary periods. While low mileage typically implies less wear on high-friction components like the engine and gearbox, the significant gaps between years of driving can sometimes lead to age-related issues, such as the degradation of rubber-based components or the oxidation of fluids that have not been regularly cycled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to time rather than just mileage. Given the low usage, it is vital to check for seized brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, and split rubber seals which may have suffered from lack of movement. The tyres should be inspected for flat spotting or sidew cracking, as the tread may remain deep despite the age. Additionally, verify the chassis for any surface corrosion to ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying structural decay caused by the storage environment.
