2019 SEAT Ibiza 1.0L Petrol · YG19 YRL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance. Following a significant failure in May 2023, the car has passed three consecutive MOT tests without any recorded defects. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 55,151 miles returned a clean sheet, indicating that the previous mechanical and consumable issues were addressed and have since been maintained. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 40,958 miles in early 2023 to 52,682 miles in October 2024, finally reaching 55,151 miles by September 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which helps prevent the premature degradation of rubber-based components and seizing within the braking system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres, as the May 2023 failure highlighted pitted front brake discs, a stiff handbrake, and a slight performance imbalance. While these were rectified to pass, a manual check of the current pad thickness and caliper operation remains sensible to ensure the imbalance has not returned. The previous failure due to deep sidewall cuts and perishing also indicates that the prior owner once neglected basic tyre upkeep, so the current tyre set should be inspected for sidewall cracking or uneven wear patterns.
