2010 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · RO60 OFG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of neglected minor suspension and exhaust components. The most recent test in May 2026 at 93,110 miles flagged severe deterioration on both nearside and offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers. This is a recurring failure that appeared in records from 2022, 2023, and 2024, indicating that previous owners have consistently bypassed replacing these rubber components despite them being highlighted for years. At 93,110 miles, this 16-year-old Ibiza shows a low annual average of approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,500 miles covered between October 2024 and May 2025, and another 6,600 miles in the year leading to the latest test. However, the low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber parts due to age rather than wear, consistent explains the frequent reports of perished tyre sidewalls and deteriorating boot dust covers found throughout the history. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and exhaust system. The recurring issues with anti-roll bar links and track rod ends suggest the entire front suspension assembly may require comprehensive refurbishment to address play and perished perished. The exhaust system shows a clear history of leaks from the flexi-pipe and silencer dating back to 2023, which suggests the metalwork is corroded and potentially nearing the end of its functional life. Additionally, the front brake discs noted for pitting and scoring in 2024 should be checked for remaining thickness to ensure they have not reached the minimum safety limit.
