2009 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Diesel · LS59 RXK

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently good, as the most recent MOT test on 2024-11-26 at 136,931 miles passed without defects. However, the maintenance trend is not stable; it has deteriorated significantly since the 2023-12-03 test, where the car failed at 124,648 miles. This indicates a clear progression of wear, with the most recent failure occurring in November 2022 at 121,033 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has not been adequately serviced since then. The mileage accumulation is not uniform across the record; there are notable gaps between the 2023-12-03 and 2022-11-24 tests, creating a significant jump in mileage that correlates with the failure in November 2022. If the vehicle had been maintained strictly according to the 136,931-mile test, this gap would have been mitigated, but the lack of service records since November 2022 suggests that the owner may have skipped routine inspections, allowing the brakes and suspension to fail prematurely. Consequently, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, worn suspension bushes, and structural integrity issues. The history indicates that the brakes have likely been inspected but may have failed in November 2022, and the suspension may have suffered from bushing wear or alignment problems. A physical inspection is required to confirm whether the brake pads are still functional and whether the suspension components remain in good condition, as these structural risks are the primary concern given the deteriorating trend since the 2023-12-03 test.
