2008 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · AE58 ADZ

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 September 2025 at 126,422 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The September 2025 test recorded no defects, and the preceding annual tests show a consistent pattern of clean results. This 2008 model has cleared every assessment where faults were listed, and the only blemishes are two administrative failures dated 30 August 2024 and 30 August 2025 that carried no recorded defects, indicating paperwork or presentation issues rather than mechanical concerns. Recorded mileage sits at 126,422 against an eighteen-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,023 miles per year and reflecting typical use for the age. The odometer advanced from 119,948 miles at the August 2023 test to 123,948 miles by August 2024, then to 126,328 miles by the August 2025 failure and 126,422 miles at the September 2025 pass. Annual accumulation of around 3,000 to 3,500 miles shows light, steady running with no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing gaps evident in the data. The sparse record carries no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across the three years sampled. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's eighteen-year age and the absence of advisory capture in the MOT data, which does not confirm absence of wear. The brake discs, coil springs, and suspension components warrant hands-on checks despite no tester flags, as the clean record may reflect minimal scrutiny rather than verified condition. The twin zero-defect failures in 2024 and 2025 suggest the keeper addressed non-mechanical compliance promptly, implying basic administrative care if not deep mechanical intervention.
