2008 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · FE08 AMV

This vehicle is in a stable and roadworthy condition based on the available data. The most recent MOT test on 23 March 2026 at 95,584 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2023, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,310 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained consistent, with 5,117 miles added between March 2023 and March 2024, and 5,030 miles added between March 2024 and March 2025. This steady usage pattern indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The absence of any advisories or failures over the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as surface rust does not always trigger an MOT failure until it compromises structural integrity. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over time regardless of the low mileage. Check the service history for evidence of oil changes and timing belt replacements. The MOT record confirms the car is legally roadworthy, but it does not track preventative maintenance. Verify that the brake fluid and coolant have been refreshed to ensure the vehicle remains reliable beyond the basic pass criteria.
