2013 SEAT IBIZA1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, reflecting a consistent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 8 October 2025 at 61,722 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,750 miles per year. Between August 2022 and October 2025, the car covered 14,814 miles, consistent but light usage. The single failure recorded on 28 August 2024 at 56,107 miles appears to be an isolated incident as the vehicle passed the re-test that same day without further defects. This low mileage typically reduces the mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes mask issues related to age-related degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that perish over time regardless of distance. While the MOT history is clean, the rubber components such as suspension bushes, sidewalls, and wiper blades should be checked for cracking or dry rot due to the vehicle's age. Given the low usage, inspect the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as infrequently-used cars often suffer from rust or seized calipers. The structural integrity of the underbody and sills remains a priority to ensure that no hidden corrosion has developed between the annual test intervals.
