2020 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · SH20 EZD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing wear-related issues. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 30,802 miles passed, the tester identified new defects regarding pitting and scoring on both front brake discs. This represents a regression from the clean record seen in March 2024, indicating that the braking components are beginning to show signs of age despite the relatively low overall mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,134 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the July 2023 test at 18,311 miles and the March 2024 test at 24,661 miles, where the car covered over 6,000 miles in just eight months. Such intermittent usage often leads to corrosion on brake hardware and flat-spotting tyres, which aligns with the March 2024 failure of the offside front tyre due to a structural bulge. A buyer should focus their inspection on the front braking system, as the pitting and scoring noted in 2025 suggest the discs may require replacement soon to ensure optimal stopping performance. The illuminated TPMS light from the latest test also requires investigation to determine if the issue is a faulty sensor or a slow leak. Given the history of tyres wearing near the legal limit in 2023, the current depth and condition of all four tyres should be checked for uneven wear or signs of dry cracking from low-mileage storage.
