2011 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · LT11 WWB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to basic consumable upkeep. The most recent test in February 2026 at 94,870 miles resulted in a failure due to an illegally worn offside front tyre and an incorrect nearside headlamp aim. While the car passed after immediate rectification, the recurring nature of tyre failures suggests the owner only addresses issues when forced by a tester rather than performing routine preventative checks. At 94,870 miles over 15 years, the vehicle averages approximately 6,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for a hatchback. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 4,600 miles covered between February 2024 and January 2025, and another 4,700 miles between early 2025 and early 2026. This regularity suggests the car does not sit for long periods, though the age of the vehicle remains aged rubber components and fluid degradation. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the history shows multiple instances of uneven tyre wear on the edges in both 2024 and 2026. This often points to worn control arm bushes, tie rod ends, or incorrect camber settings. The failure in 2025 for a structural failure in the nearside front tyre further highlights a lack of pre-trip inspections for bulges or sidewall damage. Given the's age, a thorough check for underbody corrosion on structural points and brake lines is essential, as these areas were not highlighted in the recent MOT advisories.
