2009 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · KM09 GFX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 4 January 2024 at 115,574 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes in January 2023 and December 2021, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,798 miles per year. The distance covered between the December 2021 test at 103,316 miles and the January 2024 test at 115,574 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 6,000 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of stagnation that would suggest neglect or hidden drivetrain issues. The absence of any advisories over the last three tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance. However, the MOT history is now significantly outdated, as the last recorded test was over two years ago. A buyer must verify if the vehicle has been driven or stored since January 2024. A physical inspection should focus on components that the MOT may not have flagged due to the long gap in testing. Priority should be given to checking for perished rubber seals, battery health, and the condition of the tyres and brake discs, which can suffer from surface corrosion or flat-spotting if the car has been stationary. Checking the underside for structural corrosion is also essential, as older SEAT models can develop rust in the sills and suspension mounting points regardless of a clean MOT history.
