2015 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · PX65 NKW

The vehicle presents an inconsistent maintenance history characterized by recurring failures related to suspension components and tyre condition. In the most recent test on August 5, 2025 at 67,388 miles, the car failed due to a non-functional windscreen washer and an offside front tyre with exposed cords. This indicates a failure to address basic safety-critical items between inspections. Furthermore, the previous test in August 2025 at the same mileage mark also flagged a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. The persistent presence of tyre-related failures suggests the previous owner only addressed issues following an MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 67,388 miles over eleven years, the Ibiza has averaged approximately 6,126 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage patterns. While lower mileage often preserves the drivetrain and engine components, it can lead to rubber-based parts degrading. The record shows this in August 2023 at 54,668 miles when both nearside and offside lower suspension arm bushes were excessively worn. Although the vehicle passed in 2024 at 61,517 miles, the return of suspension and tyre issues in 2025 indicates that these components are reaching the end of their functional life despite the low mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to ensure the bushes were properly replaced and are not currently failing again. The failure of the windscreen washer in the latest test is a minor point but indicative of overall neglected upkeep. Given the history of tyres being at the legal limit, a full depth and condition check of all four tyres is required before purchase. The vehicle appears mechanically viable but reflects a reactive rather than proactive approach to car care.
