2015 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · KD15 CTK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical and steering components. While it passed the most recent test in July 2025 at 89,327 miles, the record reveals a pattern of recurring faults that remain unaddressed between testing intervals. The persistence of steering rack inner joint play across both the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a significant mechanical deficiency that has not been rectified despite multiple MOT opportunities. At 89,327 miles over 11 years, the car has averaged approximately 8,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical light-use patterns. However, the data shows a jump of nearly 10,000 miles between July 2023 and 2024, followed by another 4,200 miles before the 2025 test. This consistent usage has contributed to the accelerated wear observed on the braking system and tyre-related components, particularly the degradation of rubber-based parts noted in the recent records. A buyer must inspect the steering system specifically, as the offside steering rack inner joints have been flagged for play for over a year. The 2025 advisory notes front brake discs are are worn and pitted, which follows a 2024 failure for a binding offside rear service brake. This suggests the braking system is reaching the end of its effective service life. Furthermore, the recurring reports of offside rear tyre perishing and uneven inner edge wear point to potential alignment issues or suspension geometry faults that require investigation to prevent further premature tyre failure.
