2005 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · WF55 VLL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the data indicates a significant lapse in recent testing. The last recorded MOT on October 28 2021 at 94,267 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just ten days prior at 94,266 miles. Because no tests have been recorded for nearly five years, the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unknown and cannot be verified as compliant with modern safety standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The record shows a long period of inactivity between September 2017 (90,134 miles) and February 2019 (91,323 miles), where only 1,189 miles were covered over seventeen months. This pattern suggests the car may have sat for extended periods, which often leads to the perish of rubber components, internal corrosion of brake lines, and the degradation of fluid properties, despite the low mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components affected by age and storage rather than just mileage. Given the gap in records, check the brake discs for heavy pitting and seized calipers, and inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or dry rot. Examine the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches for hidden corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles from this era are prone to surface oxidation that develops regardless of how few miles are driven.
