2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · CF17 YRN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in mechanical consistency. While it passed the latest test on 18 May 2026 at 96,282 miles, the tester identified a slightly spongy brake pedal and fluctuating front service brakes. This indicates either air in the hydraulic system or uneven wear on the front brake discs, marking a departure from the previously clean 2024 and 2025 records. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual-use patterns, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year over the nine-year period. The record shows a steady progression of roughly 7,000 to 9,000 miles between annual tests, moving from 60,847 miles in 2022 to 96,282 today. This regularity suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting, which generally benefits mechanical seals and components, though it places standard wear on consumable items at expected intervals. A buyer must prioritize the front braking system to address the reported fluctuations and spongy pedal feel. These symptoms warrant an inspection of the discs for thinning or warped surfaces as well as the master cylinder and brake lines for signs of degradation or fluid contamination. The 2023 advisory regarding front tyres being worn on the edges at 73,728 miles suggests a previous alignment issue or suspension wear, which should be re-checked to ensure suspension bushings are not causing premature tyre scrubbing.
