2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · CF66 HFK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 6 February 2026 at 88,537 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of intermittent neglect regarding consumables and minor suspension components, though the vehicle has successfully cleared major failures in recent years. While the most recent test passed, the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, indicating that tyre replacement is due imminently. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. The record shows steady progress from 73,366 miles in February 2024 to 82,227 miles in February 2025, and finally 88,537 miles in February 2026. This steady usage pattern suggests the car is used regularly for commuting or general transit rather than sitting idle for long periods, which typically helps prevent issues like seized calipers or perished rubber seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly. The February 2025 failure at 82,216 miles highlighted an excessively worn nearside front inner suspension arm bush and a worn anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. Although the vehicle passed in 2026, these components, along with the shock absorbers which failed due to a serious fluid leak in February 2024, are high-wear items that require close scrutiny for play, noise, or further leakage. The history of tyre-related failures, including a structural bulge at 82,216 miles and the recent edge wear at 88,537 miles, suggests a pattern of running tyres toward the end of their serviceable life. A thorough check of the current tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity is necessary. Additionally, the presence of a child seat during the 2026 test prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belt, so the webbing and buckle mechanism should be manually checked for any signs of fraying or mechanical failure.
