2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · EK13 AEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 83,312 miles. While the history shows intermittent failures, the maintenance trend appears to be improving. The tester recorded no defects in the latest inspection, suggesting that previous issues with tyres and suspension components have been addressed. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. The records show steady usage, with the odometer increasing from 34,412 miles in April 2016 to 83,312 miles in October 2025. This gradual progression suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway driving. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and steering components during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkages and shock absorber misting, specifically noted in October 2020, October 2021, and October 2023. Although the 2025 test was clear, the history of worn ball joint dust covers and leaking dampers indicates these components are wear items that may require monitoring. Tyre maintenance also warrants scrutiny. The records from April 2018, October 2020, and October 2024 all flagged tyres that were either worn to the legal limit, worn on the edges, or physically damaged. This pattern suggests a tendency for the previous owner to run consumables toward the end of their service life. Checking the current tread depth and ensuring even wear across all four tyres will be essential to confirm recent upkeep.
