2015 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · CV65 LCM

A history of failures related to tyre tread and emissions readings characterizes the mechanical record of this vehicle, despite a clean pass on 2025-10-20. The data reveals a recurring issue with tyre wear, including a dangerous failure in 2023 and further advisories in 2024, alongside a major failure regarding exhaust lambda readings and parking brake adjustment in October 2024. While the most recent tests have been clear, the previous failures indicate a trend of allowing consumables to reach critical limits before replacement. The recorded mileage of 66,274 miles over an eleven year period represents a typical annual accumulation of approximately 6,025 miles. This usage profile suggests moderate wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, as the vehicle has not been subject to the extreme wear of high-mileage use nor the potential degradation associated with prolonged periods of inactivity. Attention should be directed toward the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection. Given the 2024 failure for excessive parking brake lever movement and advisories for worn front brake pads, the buyer should check for a firm handbrake engagement and listen for any grinding or squealing during low-speed braking. The recurring tyre tread failures, specifically the dangerous wear on the nearside front in 2023 and inner edge wear on the offside front, suggest a need to verify current tread depths and check for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment issues. The exhaust system requires scrutiny following the 2024 major failure for lambda readings outside specified limits. During the test drive, monitor for any engine management warning lights or irregular idling that could suggest persisting emissions issues. Additionally, as a 2021 advisory noted that undertrays and sill covers prevented a full inspection, a thorough check of the underbody for corrosion or structural damage is advisable to ensure no defects were obscured during previous tests.
