2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · DN67 ABZ

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent pass on 10 December 2025 at 68,327 miles. The maintenance trend is inconsistent, showing a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the car passes its tests, the recurring presence of advisories for worn tyres and suspension components suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when they became critical for a legal pass. The mileage is typical for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,592 miles per year. The progression from 26,410 miles in September 2020 to 68,327 miles in December 2025 shows a steady usage pattern without any suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation. This consistent use generally prevents the seals and gaskets from drying out, though it places standard wear on the chassis and drivetrain. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres and wheel alignment. The record shows a chronic issue with tyre wear, with three tyres flagged as close to the legal limit in September 2023 and the offside front tyre appearing again as a concern in December 2025. The mention of scrubbed edges in 2023 suggests a potential tracking or alignment issue that may still persist. The braking system and front suspension require close scrutiny. The vehicle failed in September 2023 due to brake pads thinner than 1.5mm and worn discs, following a 2022 advisory for the same components. Furthermore, the track rod end dust covers were flagged as insecure in 2023 and remained a point of concern in September 2024. The light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber noted in September 2024 indicates a slow leak that could lead to suspension failure if not yet replaced.
