2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · EK13 ACZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the 10 October 2025 MOT at 88,644 miles. The latest test recorded minor advisory items – front shock absorber oil mist, rear tyre approaching the legal limit, and a hand‑brake that requires adjustment – but no failures. Over the past three years the pattern of advisories has remained consistent, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a deterioration. Mileage has risen from 24,689 miles in March 2016 to 88,644 miles in October 2025, averaging roughly 6,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a thirteen‑year‑old hatchback. The record shows steady increments of between 7,500 and 9,000 miles annually, with no unexplained gaps that would suggest prolonged storage or abrupt high‑kilometre journeys. A prospective buyer should examine the front shock absorbers for any oil seepage and verify that the rear suspension retains the reduced damping effect noted in the 2024 tests. Tyre tread on both rear wheels must be measured to confirm they are not close to the legal limit, and the hand‑brake should be inspected for proper adjustment. Brake discs and pads, previously flagged for wear in 2022 and 2023, ought to be checked for thickness and scoring to ensure they remain within safe limits. The front registration plate was recorded as deteriorated in 2024; ensure the plate is legible and securely mounted. No corrosion or structural defects have been logged, but a visual inspection of wheel arches and chassis for any rust is prudent before purchase.
