2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · FH62 YVL

The 2013 SEAT Ibiza presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 21 January 2026. Recording zero defects at 112,577 miles demonstrates that the vehicle currently meets all required safety and environmental standards without any advisories. The maintenance trajectory is firmly stable, showing no signs of worsening mechanical decline or neglected structural integrity. A single failed test occurred on 24 January 2025 at 105,973 miles, though the record curiously lists no defects for this failure; the car passed cleanly just three days later on 27 January 2025 at the identical mileage, suggesting a minor, swiftly rectified issue or an administrative anomaly rather than a serious mechanical fault. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the January 2023 test at 88,788 miles and the January 2024 test at 96,541 miles, the Ibiza covered 7,753 miles. The following year, up to the January 2025 test at 105,973 miles, it accrued 9,432 miles. Most recently, the 2026 test at 112,577 miles shows a further 6,604 miles traveled over a twelve-month period. This consistent, sub-10,000-mile annual cycle indicates regular, sustained use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high motorway mileage, which typically accelerates wear on drivetrain components and consumables. Given the entirely defect-free MOT record over the last four years, there are no recurring mechanical faults or structural corrosion issues demanding immediate attention. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of typical wear areas for a 13-year-old vehicle. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and inspect the brake discs and calipers for any signs of binding or uneven wear, even though the recent brake tests passed without issue. Examine the inner and outer sidewalls of all four tyres for perishing, alongside the exhaust system for early signs of corrosion. The clean record implies a conscientious previous owner who kept on top of basic upkeep, but a physical inspection remains essential to verify the structural integrity of the underbody and the condition of consumables not covered by the MOT.
