2018 SEAT Ibiza 1.5L Petrol · MH64 ALL

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 50,758 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive rather than proactive care. While the car has passed despite recurring advisories regarding brake wear and tyres, the lack of defects in the latest inspection suggests that the owner has finally addressed the mechanical wear issues identified in the previous two years. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. There is a notable jump in usage between March 2023 and March 2024, where the car covered over 12,000 miles in a single year, compared to the much lower 11,000 miles recorded the previous year. This increase in activity likely explains the appearance of worn consumables noted in the 2024 and 2025 tests, as the vehicle transitioned from low-intensity use to higher annual miles. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system and suspension during a physical inspection. The MOT records from 2024 and 2025 consistently flagged both front and rear brake pads as wearing thin, indicating a pattern of running components down until they reached critical limits. Furthermore, repeated advisories for uneven tyre wear and perishing rubber in 2022 and 2025 suggest potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified. Check the current state of the brake discs for scoring or thinning, as the historical wear suggests the pads may have impacted the rotors.
