2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · EN13 AAU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following an improving trend in maintenance discipline. The most recent inspection conducted on December 4, 2025 at 87,806 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the previously identified mechanical issues have been addressed. While the history shows intermittent failures in prior years, the transition to clean passes in recent tests suggests the current ownership is being proactive in rectifying faults identified during the MOT testing process. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,754 miles per annum. Between the December 2023 test at 67,762 miles and the 2024 test at 78,564 miles, the car covered 10,802 miles, which is higher than the annual average. However, the subsequent interval of 9,242 miles over the following year shows more typical usage. This regular mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of rubber components and preventing brake seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024. Although the record does not list the specific mechanical reasons for those failures, recurring issues in this age group often point to wear on suspension bushes, exhaust mounts, or emissions components. Given the age of the Ibiza, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points is essential to ensure no hidden rust is developing beyond what the tester saw. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding to ensure the recent pass reflects a well-maintained braking system.
