2010 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Diesel · KY60 WDR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 127,315 miles passed, it flagged several recurring wear-related issues that persisted from previous years. The mechanical condition appears stable in terms of passing tests, yet the constant presence of unresolved minor faults suggests that the owner only addresses components when they reach a failure point rather than performing preventative maintenance during service intervals. At 16 years old, the recorded 127,315 miles represent an average usage of approximately 8,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK figures for an older hatchback. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with roughly 6,200 miles covered between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests, and another 6,400 miles between March 2025 and 2026. This regular use suggests the car is not sat, which explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and suspension parts. A buyer must closely inspect the braking system and front geometry. The record shows a persistent history of pitted and scored front discs and brake imbalance issues dating back to 2024. By 2026, the brakes were still fluctuating. Furthermore, the 2024 failure noted play in the steering rack inner joints and a damaged power steering hose indicates that the front end has been under significant stress. The recurring mention of inner-edge tyre wear across multiple years also points to a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that remain uncorrected. The engine-related oil leak has appeared in every MOT record since at least 2024. While the tester classified this as not excessive, its longevity indicates a slow seal or gasket failure that will likely worsen. An inspection should also verify the condition of the anti-roll bar ball joints, which failed in 2025, and ensure the repair was thorough. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical check for structural corrosion on the underside and sills is essential, as the record focus remains entirely on mechanical wear and consumable items.
