SEAT IBIZA S2002 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 August 2025 at 88,050 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This continued streak of clean results across the last five tests suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard that avoids the common mechanical failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,669 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of low use between November 2021 (81,347 miles) and May 2024 (82,420 miles), where the car covered only 1,073 miles in over two years. The more recent interval of 5,630 miles over the following year indicates a slight increase in usage frequency. While low mileage implies less wear on the drivetrain and braking system, it also increases the risk of rubber component degradation and fluid breakdown from long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components prone to age-related fatigue rather than mileage-related wear. Focus on the condition of suspension bushes, tyre boots, and brake hoses, which can crack and perish over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the chassis for early-stage corrosion in the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT test only flags structural integrity once it reaches a critical level of decay. Ensure the brake calipers are not seized from disuse, a common issue for vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
