2008 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · FP58 AFN

The 2008 SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 28 October 2025 at 98,152 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests similarly logged passes with no advisories, indicating consistent compliance. The only anomaly appears on 30 October 2023 when the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at 87,433 miles, both with no defects noted, pointing to an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical concern. At roughly 18 years old, the odometer shows 98,152 miles, equating to about 5,450 miles per year, which is low for a supermini of this age. The recorded distances rise modestly from 83,462 miles on 20 October 2022 to 87,433 on 30 October 2023, then 93,403 on 28 October 2024 and 98,152 on 28 October 2025. Such gentle annual accumulation suggests light use or prolonged storage rather than high-speed wear. The test history remains sparse and clean, with no gaps exceeding twelve months and no consumable wear flags across the five entries. Despite the unblemished MOT ledger, a buyer should physically examine typical 18-year-old components that tests may overlook when within limits. Inspect front suspension bushes and rear coil springs for cracking or fatigue, check brake discs for lip and caliper binding after standing, and assess underside structural integrity for corrosion around sills and subframes. The low mileage implies the car may have sat idle, raising risk of perished rubber gaiters and moisture-driven surface rust rather than drivetrain exhaustion.
