2015 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · WP65 FMJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in January 2026 at 86,372 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of significant mechanical neglect during early 2025. While the most recent test indicates no outstanding defects, the failure in late December 2025 reveals a cluster of critical safety andrelated issues that were addressed simultaneously. This suggests that the previous owner only performed repairs when forced by an MOT test failure rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The recorded mileage of 86,372 miles over eleven years reflects a low annual average of approximately 7,850 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for this age. There is a notable gap in records between the December 2023 test at 73,627 miles and the January 2025 test at 82,653 miles. During this fourteen-month period, the car covered nearly 9,000 miles, which coincides with the rapid wear observed on suspension components identified in the subsequent 2025 failures. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and geometry closely, as the January 2025 failure flagged excessive free play in both inner tie rods and excessively worn suspension arm bushes. Although these were likely replaced, the recurring mention of nearside front tyres wearing on the outer edge suggests persistent alignment issues or a misaligned steering rack. The December 2025 failure for significantly worn rear brake discs indicates that the braking system was ignored until reaching a critical state, necessitating a thorough check of the remaining life on all pads and rotors across the vehicle.
