2023 SEAT Ibiza FR TSI S-A 1.0L Petrol · SL73 LXM

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 31 August 2026. As a 2023 model, the vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness trend, achieving a pass with only a single minor advisory. This suggests that the car has been kept in a generally good state of repair and has not suffered from any significant structural or mechanical failures during its initial years of service. The recorded mileage of 37,271 miles is high for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 12,424 miles per year. This level of usage indicates a high-intensity duty cycle, likely involving frequent commuting or long-distance travel. From a mechanical perspective, this means that wear-and-tear consumables, including brake pads, tyre treads, and suspension bushings, will have reached their wear limits sooner than on a low-mileage example. The increased usage places greater demand on the drivetrain and engine, making the verification of a full service history critical. The only current advisory is a nail in the offside rear tyre, which requires a professional puncture repair or replacement. Beyond this, the buyer should closely inspect the remaining tyres for uneven wear, which can be a symptom of wheel misalignment or worn suspension components resulting from the higher mileage. During a test drive, the driver should listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension and feel for any shuddering under braking, which would indicate worn discs or binding calipers. Given the high annual mileage, it is essential to verify that the engine oil and automatic transmission fluids have been changed in accordance with the manufacturer's intervals to prevent premature wear of the internal components. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for significant lipping or scoring and check the health of the 12V battery. Finally, a thorough check of the interior cabin materials and switchgear is advised, as high-mileage vehicles often exhibit more pronounced wear on the steering wheel, gear selector, and seat bolsters.
