2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · FL13 XKA

The SEAT Ibiza presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 March 2026 at 83,942 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 22 January 2025 at 83,120 miles. The earlier failure on 18 October 2024 at 82,860 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-based failure. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories across the record, so the upkeep pattern reads as consistent rather than deteriorating. At roughly 6,457 miles per year, the odometer sits in the expected range for a 2013 car. The gap between the July 2023 pass at 73,629 miles and the January 2025 pass at 83,120 miles shows about 9,500 miles covered over eighteen months, a normal use rate. A curious entry appears on 19 July 2023 where the car failed at 73,624 miles then passed the same day at 73,629 miles, both with no defects logged, pointing to a retest after a paperwork or identification issue rather than repair work. The record is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emission concerns ever raised. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the car's thirteen years. The MOT history never flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, but testers only record visible faults on the day. Verify the front and rear brake calipers move freely and check for latent corrosion around sills and subframes that a clean MOT does not preclude. The two defect-free failures in 2023 and 2024 suggest the previous owners addressed whatever halted the test promptly, yet the absence of advisories means wear items like tyres and wiper blades were likely changed before each visit. Treat the nil-advisory record as a positive sign of basic care, but confirm real-world condition before purchase.
