2009 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · LT09 YHH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 June 2026 at 106,814 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner consistently reacts to failures to secure a passing certificate. While the most recent failure involved a minor inoperative registration plate lamp, the lack of recorded advisories on the latest test suggests that the mechanical and structural components met the minimum legal standards at that time. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. The data shows steady usage between tests, with 6,367 miles covered between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 10,554 miles covered in the year leading up to the June 2026 test. This recent spike suggests the car has seen regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps prevent internal rubber components and seals from seizing due to age-related degradation. A buyer should specifically inspect the exhaust system in person, given the major leak recorded during the July 2025 test at 96,260 miles. Although the vehicle passed since, a major leak often indicates manifold gasket failure or corrosion-related thinning of the front pipework that can recur. Additionally, the 2025 failure for low front tyre tread indicates a history of neglecting consumable maintenance, so the current condition and age of all four tyres should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life.
