2009 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · CX09 FDJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. While it passed its latest test in September 2025 at 144,873 miles, the record shows a persistent trend of neglecting consumables until they approach failure limits. The condition remains stable in terms of passing, but the recurring nature of brake and tyre issues suggests that repairs are only addressed when necessitated by an MOT failure. At 144,873 miles over 17 years, the Ibiza has averaged approximately 8,500 miles per annum. This low-level usage is consistent with typical UK figures for a city-market car of this age. Between July 2023 and September 2025, the car covered roughly 6,400 miles, showing regular use patterns. There are no significant gaps in the testing to suggest long periods of neglect, though the mileage accumulation between tests confirms that components are being worn hard before they exceed safety tolerances. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front wheel arch, as corrosion was flagged in both August 2024 and the preceding failure four days prior, and has not been noted as resolved. The recurring failures regarding track rod ends and worn tyres indicate that suspension components may be nearing the end of their service life. Furthermore, the consistent reports of pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs since 2023 suggest the metal is poorly maintained and the braking system is likely thin or heavily degraded, potentially requiring immediate replacement to ensure effective stopping performance.
