2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · NG14 XBX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward deferred wear-related repairs. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 92,870 miles passed, it revealed a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. This follows a clean record from 2024, suggesting that the vehicle is beginning to require attention for age-related components as it nears higher mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle used for typical short-to-medium commuting, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The data shows steady progression with a 4,000-mile gap between September 2023 and August 2024, and another 4,000 miles between August 2024 and 2025. This regularity generally indicates the car has not sat stationary for extended periods, which is beneficial for the preservation of rubber seals and fluids despite the low annual mileage. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the front suspension geometry. Recurring advisories for worn tyres with uneven wear across 2022, 2023, and 2025 suggest potential wheel alignment issues or worn tracking components. The 2025 flagging of the nearside front lower suspension arm bush requires a physical check to ensure play has not developed, which would affect steering precision and accelerate tyre life. Additionally, the corroded rear exhaust box noted in 2023 should be monitored to ensure the corrosion has not progressed to a structural failure of the exhaust system.
