2008 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Diesel · LR08 YMM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 20 February 2025 at 123,084 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. Following a single failure in July 2022, the vehicle has passed three consecutive inspections without any advisories, suggesting the current owner has addressed previous issues and maintained a high standard of upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per annum. Between July 2021 and February 2025, the car covered 38,904 miles, representing a steady usage rate rather than long periods of neglect or heavy commercial application. The gap of 20,000 miles between the July 2023 and 2025 tests shows the vehicle is driven regularly, which generally helps prevent the corrosion-related seizing of brake caliper seals and the de-gradation of rubber-based components. While the digital record is remarkably clean, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points for an Ibiza of this age and mileage. The lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests suspension bushes and brake components are in good condition, but the buyer should still check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and subframe where where moisture often collects. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of the timing belt and the integrity of the exhaust system is essential, as these items are not covered by the standard MOT testing process.
