2018 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · WG18 AEW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 28 April 2025 at 26,670 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two miles prior at 26,668 miles. This specific failure with no recorded defects suggests a potential administrative error or a minor sensor component issue that was rectified immediately before the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,334 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 16,780 miles and April 2025 at 26,670 miles, the car covered only 9,890 miles. This low usage typically indicates minimal wear on high-stress drivetrain components and engine-related parts. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from the degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion on brake discs if the car has sat for long periods without regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related low-use patterns. While the MOT history shows no advisories for suspension bushes or structural corrosion, the low mileage warrants a close check of sidewall cracking on tyres and pitting on the metal brake rotors. Inspect the fluids for moisture contamination or oxidation, as infrequent driving can lead to neglected oil changes. Ensure the service history reflects annual intervals rather than just mileage intervals to confirm the engine remains properly lubricated.
