2019 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · YF69 FCA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 45,415 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a significant failure in late 2024. While the car previously suffered from neglected braking and suspension components, the recent clean pass indicates that the critical safety faults were addressed, bringing the vehicle back to a standard operating condition. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between the December 2022 test at 24,262 miles and the December 2024 test at 38,880 miles, the car covered 14,618 miles, showing steady usage. The gap of 6,535 miles between late 2024 and 2026 suggests low-intensity driving, which explains why the wear observed was primarily focused on consumable items rather than heavy drivetrain strain. A buyer should inspect the nearside front shock absorber, as the tester flagged light misting of oil in December 2024. Although the car passed the subsequent test, a leaking damper often precedes a total seal failure which would require immediate replacement. Additionally, the 2024 failure for thin brake pads and worn discs indicates a history of reactive maintenance rather than preventative servicing. You must verify that the current front brake components have sufficient life and show no signs of glazing or overheating. The history also notes instances of tyre perishing in 2023, which often occurs when a vehicle is left stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should check the sidewalls of all four tyres to ensure no dry rot has developed. Beyond these specific areas of past concern, the record shows no structural corrosion or recurring emission issues, suggesting the core integrity of the Ibiza remains sound.
