2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · YR64 HFD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in September 2025 at 22,991 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced the first recorded defect regarding worn, pitted, or scored brake discs. This represents a shift from the previous four years of defect-free inspections, suggesting that components are now beginning to age despite the low annual mileage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old SEAT, averaging approximately 1,900 miles per annum. Between 2021 and 2025, the car covered only 1,165 miles, moving from 21,826 to 22,991 miles. This infrequent usage indicates the vehicle has likely spent long periods stationary, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and corrosion on metal surfaces rather than mechanical wear and tear from high-distance driving. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system, as the 2025 advisory indicates all four discs show signs of pitting. Low mileage often causes surface corrosion on iron rotors when the car is not driven regularly. The tester also noted the discs were not yet structurally weakened, but replacement may be imminent. Beyond the brakes, inspection should check for cracked tyre sidewalls and perished suspension bushes, as these materials dry out with age regardless of the low miles recorded.
