2015 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · FE65 NJK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a recurring trend of front-end suspension wear. The most recent test in November 2025 at 80,240 miles identified worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. This issue mirrors previous advisories noted in September 2021 at 61,069 miles, indicating that the suspension components are experiencing gradual degradation despite the vehicle passing the intervening tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-mileage urban car, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between September 2020 and November 2025, the car covered 33,713 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage profile. There is a notable gap in September 2022 at 66,699 miles where the vehicle failed initially due to a fractured offside front coil spring and a gearbox oil leak. These faults were addressed immediately as evidenced by the clean pass on the following day. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the control arms and bushes have appeared as repeat faults over several years. The gearbox oil leak recorded in 2022 requires a visual check to ensure no active weeping or significant seepage has returned since the repair. Additionally, the brake history shows frequent wear patterns, with thin pads noted in 2019 and 2020, so the current thickness of the pads and discs should be measured to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life.
