2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · CU14 XEN

The most recent 2026‑02‑12 test recorded a failure for excessive wear of the offside front suspension arm pin or bush, indicating the vehicle was not fully roadworthy at that mileage; the mixed pass/fail record shows a trend that has become less stable, with recurring mechanical faults rather than isolated consumable issues. The mileage has risen from 22,948 miles in 2017 to 76,011 miles in 2026, averaging about 6,300 miles per year, with a noticeable slowdown in accumulation after 2020, suggesting reduced usage in recent years; the annual MOT history is continuous with no significant gaps, reflecting regular testing intervals. Recurring faults include front suspension component wear, front brake disc and pad degradation (serious weakening noted in 2020, followed by improvement but continued wear), edge‑worn tyres, and a horn failure in 2024, all of which point to components that should be inspected closely; each test also included under‑tray fitting, implying scrutiny of the underbody for rust and structural integrity. A buyer should have a qualified technician examine the offside front suspension arm and its bush/pin for excessive wear, verify brake disc thickness and pad depth, assess tyre tread and edge condition, confirm horn operation, and inspect the chassis and under‑tray areas for any signs of structural rust or damage.
