2008 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · EX58 VHO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 15 March 2025 at 87,484 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently cleared the testing requirements after initial failures. While the record shows failures in early 2024 and 2025, the lack of specific recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests that issues were likely minor items such as light bulbs or minor adjustments that were addressed immediately rather than deep-seated mechanical failures. At 87,484 miles, this 18-year-old Ibiza shows significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,860 miles per year. The usage pattern indicates consistent but infrequent travel, with 5,675 miles covered between March 2023 and February 2024, and another 6,866 miles covered between February 2024 and March 2025. This low annual mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of age-related rubber degradation, dry seals, and corrosion due to longer periods of standing or light use. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the structural integrity of the chassis, as low-mileage older vehicles often suffer from surface rust on sills and wheel arches. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as these components degrade over time regardless of mileage. Given the recent failures with no recorded mechanical defects, verify the brake system for binding calipers or perished hoses and ensure the low-usage history has not led to moisture ingress in the brake lines.
