2008 SEAT IBIZA1.2L PETROL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of recurring suspension and brake wear. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 80,818 miles passed, it flagged a severely deteriorated offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover and a deteriorating rear registration plate. This specific linkage issue was previously noted in November 2023, suggesting that while some repairs are being made, the front suspension assembly continues to be a point of degradation over time. At approximately 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 80,818 miles is exceptionally low, averaging roughly 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-frequency usage patterns, with only 7,595 miles covered between October 2021 and October 2025. This low mileage often masks mechanical strain on the drivetrain, but it frequently exposes rubber-based components to age-related failure, which is evidenced by the perishing tyre cracks and worn suspension arm bushes identified in the 2023 record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the history indicates multiple entries for worn suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages. The record also shows worn front brake discs in both 2022 and 2023, indicating the braking system may be nearing the end of its service life cycle. Given the low annual mileage, it is vital to inspect the tyres for sidewall rot and deep cracking, as the 2023 test already flagged a tyre for perishing despite having low tread depth.
