2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · GF13 AEB

The 2013 SEAT Ibiza is currently roadworthy after the DVSA tester passed it on 18 March 2026 at 106,956 miles with no defects recorded. That pass followed a failed test earlier the same day at identical mileage and a prior failure on 14 March 2026 at 106,873 miles, both showing no defects logged. Mechanical trend reads stable, as the vehicle also cleared the 11 March 2025 examination at 102,310 miles without advisories. The repeated failures absent recorded faults point to administrative or presentation anomalies rather than degrading chassis or engine condition. Mileage accumulation has been light against the car's thirteen-year lifespan. The ledger shows 102,294 miles on the 10 March 2025 failure, climbing to 106,956 miles by 18 March 2026, a gain of 4,662 miles over roughly fifty-three weeks. That averages under 4,700 miles per year, well below the approximate 8,200 miles typical for this age. Such low use may reflect short trips or storage periods. Supplied history spans only the last two years and remains sparse, though what exists is clean of consumable or structural flags. A buyer should still commission a hands-on inspection of age-prone components despite the unblemished MOT trail. The tester noted no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or structural corrosion, yet a 106,956-mile Ibiza will likely hide wear in those zones. We recommend checking for binding calipers, exhaust emissions integrity and tyre tread depth, as minor consumables can slip between annual tests. The unexplained fail-pass clusters warrant direct query with the seller over test documentation. Previous keepers sustained statutory testing but booked retries at the wire in March 2025 and March 2026 instead of forward planning. Verify independent service records to confirm timely fluid, filter and ignition part replacements.
