2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · CE67 DPY

The most recent MOT from August 2025 shows a pass, but it highlights several emerging maintenance issues. The vehicle now has thin front brake pads and oil misting on both front shock absorbers, indicating that the front suspension and braking system are beginning to wear out. There is a recurring pattern of tyre neglect and degradation. Over several years, the car has consistently been flagged for tyres that are worn to the legal limit, perished, or cracked. This suggests a lack of proactive maintenance regarding consumables. The overall condition trend is worsening. While earlier failures were limited to simple adjustments and tyres, the latest report introduces suspension leaks and brake wear, moving from cosmetic or rubber-based issues to mechanical component degradation. The mileage of 79,822 miles is typical for a nine-year-old car. This suggests regular use, meaning wear on the drivetrain and suspension is expected, but it also means the car hasn't suffered from the deterioration associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should first inspect the front shock absorbers for active leaks and check the remaining thickness of the brake pads.
