2009 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · CV09 WOA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 March 2026 at 78,282 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The absence of any recorded issues since the August 2022 test at 47,135 miles suggests that the previous owners have been proactive in maintaining the SEAT's mechanical health and structural integrity. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2009 registration, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 47,135 miles and the 2026 test at 78,282 miles, the car covered 31,147 miles, indicating a consistent but light usage pattern. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking system, it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes, seals, and tyres, if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between short-distance trips. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related failure regardless of mileage. A buyer should specifically check for surface corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT test only identifies structural rust once it becomes a failure. The braking system should also be inspected for seized calipers or perished brake hoses, which can occur on infrequently used vehicles. Given the age of the car, verifying the condition of the cooling system and the integrity of suspension bushings is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked hidden neglect or fluid leaks.
