Daughter has an Ibiza, X reg, which I helped her buy some months back at about 35k miles. When I test drove it, it was noticeable that the clutch was quite hard to depress, and the bite point was very high. The guy said the clutch had been replaced (receipted) at about 30k miles).
It's now over 50k and well overdue a service, (or at least an oil change). She's learnt to live with the clutch, which isn't any different. However, what's likely to be the cause, and cost of rectification (non dealer..!)

If it is a cable operated clutch, I would put a new cable on, and check the linkage before even considering any more expensive possibilities. A new cable can, in some cases, completely transform the pedal feel of a clutch.

And if its a cable clutch, and it feels stiff, its going to break - soonish.

Agree with the above. Had a stiff cable on a mondeo clutch lots of years ago. I quite like a stiff clutch pedal however the plastic ratchet type thing on the top of the pedel didn't like it. Ended up breaking the ratchet into pieces.
Replace the cable as a starter for ten.

Thx all. When it goes in I'll have the cable swapped. I don't imagine that's a big job...
