2005 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · PE05 YHO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its history of clean passes in recent years. Following a failure in early 2019, the car has undergone three consecutive tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test conducted in January 2022 at 78,912 miles showed no faults, suggesting the vehicle was maintained to a standard during that period. However, as four years have passed since the last recorded MOT, the current roadworthiness status is unverified. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,758 miles per year. The data shows a significant jump of 21,532 miles between February 2021 and January 2022, contrasted with the 17,894-mile increase recorded between 2020 and 2021. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and tyres, if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension for signs of corrosion or fatigue, as the record notes a fractured rear coil spring in February 2019. Although this was evidently rectified, the age of the vehicle makes structural integrity and surface rust in the sills and wing arches a priority. Given the time elapsed since the last inspection, a thorough check of the brake fluid and wiper blade condition is necessary to ensure no new mechanical issues have developed due to age or intermittent use.
