2015 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · ND64 XMZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding consumable wear and suspension components. While the car passed its October 2025 test at 97,575 miles, the record introduced multiple advisories that were not present in previous years. The shift from a clean record in 2022 to a series of mechanical and rubber defects suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase where more intensive maintenance is required. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,870 miles per year. Between October 2024 at 89,264 miles and October 2025 at 97,575 miles, the car covered 8,311 miles, which aligns with the historical annual usage. This steady usage rate explains the gradual degradation of rubber-based components, though the lack of significant spikes in mileage indicates the engine and drivetrain under stress are likely limited to age-related wear rather than high mileage. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the front suspension. The offside front shock absorber showed light misting of oil at both 89,264 miles in 2024 and 97,575 miles in 2025, indicating a failing seal that will eventually require replacement. Additionally, the recurring advisories for worn inner edges on both offside and nearside front tyres suggest an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. The MOT record also highlights a lack of attention to basic electrical upkeep. The persistent failure of the central rear stop lamp across 2023 through 2025 shows the owner has ignored minor lighting faults. The 2025 advisory regarding a cracking or perishing offside rear tyre indicates the rubber is degrading due to age, necessitating a thorough check of all tyre sidewalls for dry-rot before purchase.
