2018 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · FD18 AAJ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to upkeep rather than preventative care. The most recent test on February 25, 2026 at 75,251 miles flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit. This continues a pattern seen in April 2023 where three tyres were noted for similar wear. While the car consistently passes, the owner appears to defer consumable replacements until they trigger an MOT advisory. At 75,251 miles over eight years, the car averages approximately 9,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small hatchback. The mileage progression is consistent, showing a 16,236-mile interval between March 2025 and February 2026, and another 11,181 miles between April 2024 and March 2025. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stationary time, which is generally beneficial for the health of the engine seals and de-oxidation-related components. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on tyre alignment and suspension geometry. The recurring reports of tyres worn on the edge across 2023 and 2026 indicate a potential tracking issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. The failure in 2023 due to a missing road wheel fixing also highlights a lapse in basic pre-test inspections. Verify that all wheel bolts are torqued correctly and check the tyres for uneven wear, as the record shows a history of neglecting these minor but critical safety-related repairs.
