2004 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · GF04 ADZ

The 2004 SEAT IBIZA demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent November 2025 test at 76,373 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results. No recurring mechanical or structural faults were recorded, indicating consistent maintenance or minimal wear. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, though low mileage over 22 years raises questions about usage patterns. Mileage progression shows an average of 3,472 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for a 22-year-old vehicle. The 2021 test at 48,025 miles was followed by a 4,394-mile increase by 2022, then 5,894 miles by 2023, 7,969 miles by 2024, and 10,091 miles by 2025. These increments suggest sporadic use, with a notable 12-month gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests. Such intervals may indicate periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to lack of movement. A buyer should inspect for signs of corrosion, particularly in the exhaust system and underbody, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to rust if stored improperly. Check brake discs and pads for uneven wear, as infrequent use can cause binding or glazing. Suspension components, including shock absorbers and wishbones, should be tested for play or stiffness. The engine’s condition, including oil quality and coolant levels, is critical, as prolonged inactivity may lead to fluid degradation. No major structural issues were flagged in the MOT history, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm integrity.
