2008 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · DA57 CXV

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 31 July 2024 at 113,612 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared its final test with no defects logged, though it had failed four days earlier on 27 July 2024 at 113,587 miles under a no-defect rejection, a pattern repeated in 2023 when it failed on 11 July at 105,610 miles before passing on 25 July at 105,726 miles. These paired fail-pass entries suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than progressive mechanical decline. The odometer shows 113,612 miles against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,300 miles per year which is typical for the age. Annual increments stayed consistent: 96,295 miles in July 2022, 105,726 in July 2023, and 113,612 in July 2024, giving about 8,400 and 7,900 miles per year respectively with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA record itself is sparse, listing only clean passes and no-defect fails with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's 2008 build date and the absence of any advisory data in the record. The repeated no-defect failures in July 2023 and July 2024 imply the keeper presented the car without resolving a non-mechanical rejection such as documentation or plate legibility, so verify the V5C and plate condition. With no logged wear on tyres, wiper blades, or binding calipers, the test history alone offers no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep, but the lack of advisories at this mileage warrants hands-on checks of coil springs and brake condition.
