2019 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · AH61 ELA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history indicates a decline in proactive maintenance standards. While the car passed its test in October 2025 at 39,197 miles, it initially failed that same test due to multiple brake and tyre defects. This trend suggests that while the vehicle was maintained well for several years, the current owner has recently shifted toward addressing faults only when they are flagged by a failure. The mileage profile is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles annually. Between November 2022 at 27,974 miles and December 2024 at 36,133 miles, the car covered only 8,159 miles over two years. The recent jump of 3,064 miles between December 2024 and October 2025 shows the vehicle remains in light use, though low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake surface corrosion rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system. The October 2025 failure flagged thin front pads and critically low rear pads alongside pitted and scored rear discs. Although these were replaced to secure the pass, the presence of pitting on the discs often indicates moisture-related corrosion from the car sitting stationary for extended periods. The offside rear tyre also requires checking for sidewall cracking or perishing, a common issue on low-mileage cars where the rubber ages regardless of tread depth.
