2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · DN67 ADO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 July 2026 at 62,046 miles with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs in mid-2025. While the car previously struggled with suspension and tyre issues, the clean sheet from the test just eight days ago suggests that the current owner has addressed the mechanical faults and brought the vehicle back to a passing standard. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 46,764 miles in July 2024 to 62,046 miles in July 2026. This regularity suggests the car has not been subjected to extreme stress, nor has it sat stationary for extended periods which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals. The lack of erratic mileage indicates a predictable wear pattern on consumable parts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry given the history of failures. The July 2025 failure at 54,209 miles highlighted excessively worn suspension arm bushes and a damaged track rod end dust cover. Although these were cleared in the subsequent pass, a physical check for any play in the steering or visible weeping from bushings would ensure the repairs were thorough. Additionally, the history of thin brake pads in 2024 and repeated tyre failures in 2020 and 2025 indicates that the owner historically waited for components to approach failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. Verifying the current tread depth and brake pad thickness is essential to confirm if this pattern has changed.
