2014 SEAT IBIZA1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a maintenance trend that appears stable despite some recurring mechanical issues. The most recent test in October 2025 at 98,652 miles resulted in a pass with only an advisory for light misting on the nearside front shock absorber. This represents an improvement from the October 2022 failure where multiple lighting and braking defects were present, suggesting that the current owner is addressing immediate safety concerns as they have arisen. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the car covered 22,073 miles, indicating a steady usage rate of roughly 7,300 miles annually during that period. There are no significant gaps in the record that suggest long periods of inactivity, though the overall mileage puts the car at a stage where rubber components and suspension parts face age-related degradation. A buyer should inspect the front suspension closely, as the oil misting on the nearside shock absorber noted in 2025 often leads to an impending seal failure. The history shows a corroded offside rear coil spring in 2023 and pitted brake discs in 2022, so a physical check should verify that no further rust is compromising the springs or that the brake discs have sufficient thickness. The D.P.F. warning indicator recorded in 2022 is a point of technical interest; while it was not mentioned in later tests, the buyer must ensure the engine is operating efficiently without excessive smoke or dashboard lights to rule out potential soot buildup in the particulate filter.
