2010 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · CK10 FHF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 15 April 2026 at 210,851 miles, though the maintenance trend is worsening. The most recent test followed a failure on 9 April 2026 that flagged several critical issues, including an ABS fault, an SRS warning lamp, a fractured offside rear coil spring, and a major exhaust leak. While these were rectified for the pass, the persistence of an oil leak suggests an unresolved engine or seal issue. The mileage is high for a 2010 model, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. Use has been consistent and heavy, with a significant jump from 153,667 miles in September 2021 to 178,935 miles by August 2022. This high-utilization pattern increases the likelihood of premature wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the frequent failure records. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking and safety systems. The ABS warning lamp has appeared in tests dating back to August 2020, indicating a chronic electrical or sensor fault rather than a one-off failure. Similarly, the steering system showed serious failure in September 2023, and the shock absorbers have been flagged for leaks since 2021. These recurring suspension and steering issues suggest a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a preventative one. Structural integrity and emissions are further areas of concern. The tester noted sub-frame corrosion in June 2025 and suspension arm corrosion in August 2020. Combined with a history of exhaust leaks and lambda reading failures in April 2026, the vehicle shows signs of age-related degradation. The repeated failure on tyre tread depths, most notably in September 2023 and August 2022, implies that basic consumable upkeep was frequently neglected until the point of MOT failure.
