2017 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · PE67 KXG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in May 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in reactive repairs. While the car passed its most recent test at 38,289 miles, the failure just days prior indicates that faults are only addressed after an official inspection. The recurrence of issues related to lighting, tyres, and suspension components suggests a pattern of performing only the bare minimum required to maintain an MOT certificate rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 38,289 miles is low, averaging approximately 4,254 miles per year. This low usage profile typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain, yet it often leads to the degradation of rubber components. The data shows a consistent interval of roughly 4,900 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 4,605 miles leading into the 2026 test. This steady but low mileage confirms the vehicle sits infrequently but has not prevented the specific mechanical failures noted. A buyer must specifically inspect the nearside front shock absorber, as the light misting of oil noted in May 2026 indicates a failing seal that will eventually lead to a total leak. The previous failure of the track rod end dust cover in 2025 suggests that rubber boots and bushes are beginning to perish due to age and exposure rather than mileage. Furthermore, the thin front brake pads and worn offside front tyre identified in the latest test highlight that basic consumables are being neglected until they reach a legal failure point. Check the offside rear tyre for further cracking, as the 2025 record already flagged it for perishing.
