2020 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · AA20 ONL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in consumable upkeep. While the car passed its latest test in October 2025 at 39,372 miles, the tester identified multiple issues related to tyres that were not present in previous clean reports. This shift from a clean sheet in 2024 to several warnings in 2025 suggests a lapse in routine inspections during the last service interval. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The record progressed from 17,569 miles in October 2023 to 28,053 miles in November 2024, and reached 39,372 miles by October 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the drivetrain and seals, though the low mileage does not exempt the vehicle from aging rubber components as seen in the recent advisories. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre set before purchase. The October 2025 test flagged the nearside front tyre at the legal limit with edge wear and both rear tyres showing signs of perishing cracking. These conditions often stem from incorrect alignment or age-related rubber degradation rather than just mileage-based wear. The buyer should also verify the headlight alignment, as the tester had to adjust the internal mechanism during the last inspection to ensure the beam met regulatory standards.
