2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · ND14 BKX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 67,381 miles passed, it followed a failure for an inoperative rear plate lamp, a deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, and an exhaust leak. The persistence of the exhaust leak and anti-roll bar issues across multiple years of testing suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they result in an MOT failure. At 67,381 miles, this 12-year-old SEAT Ibiza shows low usage, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The mileage progression is consistent, with roughly 2,200 miles driven between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 4,300 miles between March 2025 and February 2026. However, the low mileage appears to contribute to age-related degradation, evidenced by perishing tyres noted in 2024 and the ongoing corrosion on the power steering hose. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension components, as the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and dust covers have appeared as recurring failures for three consecutive years. The braking system also shows a history of pitted and scored discs alongside binding calipers dating back to 2024, which indicates potential caliper seizure or neglect during long periods of inactivity. Additionally, the exhaust flexipipe has been a known issue since at least 2024, requiring a check to ensure the leak has not worsened beyond a minor surface fault.
