2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · CV63 OSY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent lapse in basic safety standards. The most recent test in November 2025 at 58,987 miles passed just two days after a significant failure. That failure at 58,932 miles revealed structural damage to both rear tyres, specifically tears caused by separation or partial failure, alongside an inoperative registration plate lamp. While these issues were rectified quickly, the presence of multiple structural tyre defects suggests a lack of pre-test inspection by the most recent owner. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the car covered only 8,701 miles, indicating very light use. However, the jump of 8,175 miles between November 2024 and November 2025 shows a slight increase in usage. This low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components but increases the risk of rubber component degradation and brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should personally inspect the current condition of all four tyres, as the 2025 failure indicates a previous failure to monitor tyre structural integrity. Given the age and low mileage, check the brake discs for surface pitting and the seized calipers, which are common in vehicles not frequently driven. The record shows no structural advisories or mechanical failures over the last four years, but a physical check of the undercarriage for corrosion and suspension bushes remains necessary to ensure the low usage has not masked hidden environmental damage.
