2011 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · KV11 PSZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred repairs regarding suspension and tyres. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 111,121 miles, the car passed despite recurring advisories for worn front tyres and a suspension arm bush. These specific suspension issues were also flagged in January 2026 and February 2025, indicating that the previous owner is opting to ignore mechanical wear components until they reach a critical failure threshold. At 111,121 miles over 15 years, the Ibiza averages approximately 7,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a significant spike in activity between February 2025 and February 2026, where the car covered nearly 8,000 miles in just twelve months. This period of higher use explains the accelerated wear on consumables, as seen in the failure in January 2024 where the vehicle was rejected due to a fuel filter leak and a worn anti-roll bar linkage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the nearside front arm bush has remained a concern for over a year. The tester also noted a binding offside rear brake in early 2025, which requires a physical check to ensure the caliper is not seized or corroded. Given the consistent history of tyres being worn to the legal limit across four separate tests, the current set of tyres should be measured as they likely require immediate replacement to ensure safety and proper handling.
