2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · KT14 ABF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding deferred suspension and brake repairs. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 123,978 miles passed, it followed a failure just five days prior for a binding offside rear service brake and worn rear suspension bushes. The suspension arm bushes have appeared as a recurring advisory or failure across multiple tests since 2024, indicating that the owner is only addressing these components once they reach a point of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The record shows a steady accumulation of mileage, moving from 79,729 miles in early 2023 to 123,978 miles by early 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest the car has sat stationary for long periods, yet the rapid increase of nearly 44,000 miles over those three years correlates with the increasing wear on rubber components and braking systems despite the lack of proactive preventative maintenance. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry, as the persistent issues with arm pin bushes suggest potential play in the steering geometry and uneven tyre wear. The offside rear brake assembly requires close scrutiny to ensure the binding condition noted in January 2026 has not caused excessive heat damage or disc warping. Additionally, the history of corrosion on the rear exhaust box noted in 2021 and 2022 warrants a check to ensure structural rust has not progressed beyond surface degradation on the exhaust system.
