2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · YM66 NKT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent MOT test on 13 March 2026 at 52,155 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just two miles prior on the same day. This suggests a clerical error or a minor item that was immediately rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The lack of advisories dating back to 2023 indicates the vehicle has maintained a high standard of mechanical integrity throughout its recent history. At nine years old, the recorded 52,155 miles represent an average of approximately 5,800 miles per annum, which is significantly below the national average for a hatchback. The data shows steady, low usage patterns, with a 7,091-mile interval between June 2023 and March 2024, and another 5,722 miles recorded in the following year. This low mileage typically correlates with less wear on the drivetrain, engine internal components, and suspension bushings. However, such low-use vehicles can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the car sits stationary for long periods between trips. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults or structural corrosion, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than high mileage. Inspect the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, which often occur on cars that are not driven frequently. Check the sidewalls of tyres for cracking or dry-rot, as rubber ages over time regardless of tread depth. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but a physical check of the fluid condition and underbody remains necessary to ensure the low-mileage status has not resulted in neglected service intervals.
