2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · ND63 VMJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 30 December 2025 at 84,704 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes on the same day. This sequence occurred in both December 2024 and December 2025, where the car failed initially but passed shortly after. This suggests the previous owner addressed minor non-conformities that could be rectified quickly to secure a retest. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 75,658 miles and the December 2024 test at 79,484 miles, the car covered 3,826 miles. A further 5,220 miles were recorded in the following year. This steady mileage pattern indicates regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for keeping rubber seals and brake components from drying out or seizing. While the recent inspections recorded no persistent structural corrosion or major mechanical failures, the buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Given the age of the Ibiza, check for wear on the control arms and shock absorbers as these are common points of degradation at this mileage. The history of same-day failures likely relates to minor items like bulbs, wiper blades, or slight fluid leaks, but a thorough check of the brake disc thickness and pad wear remains necessary to ensure no underlying issues are developing despite the clean MOT sheets.
