2020 SEAT Ibiza 1.6L Diesel · FH69 RXU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 63,563 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just one day prior. This failure revealed critical wear across the braking system and multiple tyres. The subsequent pass with an advisory for a nearside front track rod end dust cover suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults once they reached a failing threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. The car covered 8,508 miles between January 2023 and September 2024, and another 9,454 miles between September 2024 and October 2025. This steady accumulation suggests typical road driving, which explains the standard wear on consumables. However, the recurring flagging of tyres reaching legal limits across multiple years indicates that the vehicle is driven through long intervals that mask the gradual degradation of components between tests. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and braking assembly during a physical inspection. The history shows instances of thin brake pads and worn discs being flagged in late 2025, which implies the braking system may be nearing its service life. The advisory on the track rod end dust cover requires a check for physical play in the steering linkage, as perished boots often lead to premature joint failure. Given the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear and feathering in 2023 and 2024, a professional alignment check should be performed to ensure the geometry is not causing accelerated tyre scrubbing.
