2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · SW13 KTT

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on April 1, 2025 at 128,629 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just five miles prior on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately to secure the retest. Since 2023, the car has passed consecutive tests without any recorded advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 111,583 miles and April 2025 at 128,629 miles, the car covered 17,046 miles over roughly two years. This steady rate of use indicates regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to internal component degradation. The lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests the previous owners have proactively addressed wear before it reached a failure threshold. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to high-mileage wear. At 128,629 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shocks should be checked for signs of fatigue or oil leakage. Because the record does not flag binding calipers or thinning discs, a manual check of the brake fluid and pad thickness is necessary to ensure continued performance. Additionally, verifying the structural integrity of the sills and underside corrosion is vital for a vehicle of this age to ensure that the lack of recorded MOT failures has not masked hidden weaknesses.
