2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · PE13 BYF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in May 2026 at 89,340 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows two years of clean passes in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the mechanical and structural integrity has remained sound without recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for light annual-distance commuting, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between October 2023 and May 2024, where the car covered only 700 miles in over seven months. However, usage has resumed at normal levels, with 13,413 miles recorded in the final year leading up to the latest test. This relatively low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on drivetrain components and engine internals compared to high-mileage examples of similar age. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the tyres, as the October 2023 test at 75,927 miles flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and on edge. While these were likely replaced given subsequent passes, the edge wear suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified. The lack of recorded advisories for corrosion or brake components in recent years means the primary focus should remain on checking the rubber components in the suspension and ensuring the brake calipers have not developed binding tendencies despite the vehicle's age.
