2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · AP17 TGX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 13, 2025, at 95,230 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern as the owner is actively addressing mechanical failures identified during testing. While the most recent MOT test failed one day prior due to an offside front track rod end failure, the subsequent pass indicates that the steering components were repaired. This suggests a reactive approach to safety-critical faults rather than ignoring them. At 95,230 miles over nine years, the Ibiza has averaged approximately 10,600 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a hatchback of this age. The data shows consistent annual intervals, with roughly 17,300 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 13,600 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which protects seals and components. A buyer should pay close attention to the front steering and suspension assembly during a physical inspection. The record flagged the offside front track rod end in both 2023 and 2025, and also noted play in the steering rack inner joints in 2023. These recurring issues indicate wear and tear in the front-end geometry. It is essential to verify that the recent repair to the track rod end resolved the play and that the steering rack itself does not require imminent replacement, as rack failure is a significantly more expensive expense than simple link replacements.
