2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · SA13 AVZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 75,406 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just eight miles prior. The recurring nature of the exhaust failures and lighting defects suggests that the owner only addresses faults when forced by a test failure. The mechanical state appears stable for now, but the history shows that components are requiring consistent attention. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 75,406 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with intervals of roughly 4,500 miles recorded between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests. This low mileage typically reduces the wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but it often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber-based parts and increased corrosion due to inactivity, which is consistent with the worn suspension arm bushes and exhaust issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system, as it shows a progression from a minor leak in 2023 to a major leak and insecure mounting in 2024, followed by significant corrosion in 2025. The braking system also requires scrutiny, specifically the offside rear caliper which was flagged as binding in 2025 and the incorrectly mounted front pads noted in 2024. You should also check the suspension bushings for further wear, as the previously identified play in 2023 indicates the rubber components are beginning to reach their functional life limit despite the low mileage.
