2021 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · BE20 BAR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 45,315 miles resulted in a pass, it immediately followed an initial failure. The tester flagged the nearside rear brake disc as worn and pitted alongside a brake pad below the 1.5mm threshold, suggesting the owner only addressed these components once a failure was imminent. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for a modern hatchback, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 4,000 miles between the March 2024 test at 26,091 miles and the August 2024 test at 30,195 miles. The March 2024 record revealed significant tyre condition issues, including sidewall damage and uneven edge wear on the offside front tyre, which often points to underlying alignment problems or worn suspension bushes. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and geometry to address the scrubbing noted in early 2024. The inner edge wear suggests the tracking or control arm bushings may require replacement. Furthermore, given the 2025 failure regarding the rear braking assembly, the remaining brake components should be checked for even wear and to ensure the caliper is not seized, causing the premature pitting observed on the disc.
