2008 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · SP58 WMK

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 68,764 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,820 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained relatively steady, increasing by 5,590 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, and by 7,750 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This consistency indicates regular, light use rather than long periods of stagnation, which typically reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished rubber seals. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the lack of any recorded advisories over several years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should personally inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for surface corrosion or fatigue that may not have triggered a failure. Particular attention should be paid to the chassis and sills for structural rust, as the DVSA record does not explicitly detail the state of the underbody if no failure occurred. The failure on 5 October 2023 was resolved on the same day at 54,906 miles. Since no specific defects were listed in the provided data for that failure, it likely involved a minor consumable item. Given the low mileage and clean history, the primary mechanical risk is the degradation of components due to age rather than wear. Check the date codes on the tyres and the condition of the auxiliary belts to ensure they have been replaced regardless of the low odometer reading.
