AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 1 July 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2016 Seat Ibiza has 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 131,014 miles. The recent advisory on engine oil and exhaust corrosion, combined with high mileage, warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle shows consistent high usage, averaging 12,711 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 131,014 miles recorded since March 2016.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc wear advisories (Jun 2026) and a DANGEROUS brake pad failure (Apr 2023) indicate chronic brake system neglect.
  • Multiple suspension arm failures (Apr 2023) and shock absorber misting advisories (May 2024, May 2025) suggest ongoing suspension wear.
  • Recent advisory for engine oil leak (Jun 2026) and exhaust corrosion (Jun 2026) points to emerging mechanical issues.
  • High total mileage (131,014 miles) for a 2016 model will accelerate wear on all components.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until June 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed retests after failures, showing issues were addressed.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars indicates a well-designed and safe vehicle.
