2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · GF13 ADU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-25 confirming no defects at 156,064 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, as the last three tests (2026, 2025, 2024) all passed without issues. However, the 2025-03-24 test recorded a failure despite no defects noted, which may indicate administrative inconsistency or a misclassification. The absence of recurring faults in subsequent tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard. The mileage of 156,064 miles at 13 years old equates to an average of 12,005 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. Notable gaps include 16,570 miles between the 2023-06-21 test (127,921 miles) and 2024-03-20 (144,491 miles), reflecting rapid accumulation. Subsequent years show reduced usage, with 6,755 miles between 2024 and 2025, and 4,818 miles between 2025 and 2026. This pattern may indicate periods of heavy use followed by lighter operation, potentially affecting wear on components like brakes, suspension, and tyres. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common in high-mileage vehicles, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which can arise from excessive use. The exhaust system and corrosion around body seams should also be evaluated, as high mileage increases exposure to rust. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s age and usage warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the condition of drivetrain components and structural integrity.
