2009 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · MT09 XKF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 18 October 2025 at 82,634 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories. This trend of clean results suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with no recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,860 miles per year. Between October 2021 (76,946 miles) and October 2025 (82,634 miles), the car covered only 5,688 miles, indicating very light annual usage. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the age-related degradation of rubber components, perished seals, or the slight corrosion of brake discs due to lack of movement. Despite the lack of reported faults in the history, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection focused on areas common to low-mileage older cars. Particular attention should be paid to structural integrity, specifically checking for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches where moisture tends to collect over decades. Additionally, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for cracking or fatigue, as these components age over time irrespective of distance driven. The braking system should be checked for binding calipers or surface rust, which can occur during long periods of stationary use.
