2005 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · OE05 AEZ

This 2005 SEAT Ibiza presents a stable short-term maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on the first of November 2022 at 112,578 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on the twelfth of November 2021 at 104,887 miles also resulted in a pass without any advisories. While these consecutive clean sheets indicate that the vehicle met statutory roadworthiness standards at the time of testing, the lack of recorded advisories provides very little diagnostic insight into the rate of wear on consumable components. A significant vulnerability in this vehicle's profile is the complete absence of MOT history data beyond November 2022, leaving a prolonged data gap of nearly four years relative to the current date in August 2026. The recorded mileage sits at 112,578 miles, averaging approximately 5,361 miles per year over its twenty-one-year lifespan, which confirms low overall usage. However, low mileage combined with a multi-year test gap often points to periods of prolonged storage, which frequently accelerates degradation in rubber suspension bushes, brake caliper slide pins, and exhaust integrity due to moisture exposure. Prospective buyers must conduct a rigorous physical inspection focusing on components that typically degrade during extended periods of inactivity or old age. The braking system requires careful scrutiny for seized calipers and pitted brake discs resulting from infrequent use. Furthermore, the underbody structural integrity demands a thorough check for corrosion, alongside a detailed examination of coil springs, wishbone bushes, and fluid lines that may have perished during the unmonitored period since late 2022.
