2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · TY03 LAS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its clean MOT pass on 22 January 2026 at 1119,819 miles. While the record shows immediate failures on the same day in both 2025 and 2026, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest that any identified defects were rectified promptly. The maintenance trend remains consistent, showing no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last three testing cycles. The mileage accumulation is remarkably steady for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 113,877 miles and the January 2025 test at 116,992 miles, the car covered 2,815 miles, indicating a period of lower-average usage followed by 2,827 miles leading to the 2026 test. This pattern suggests regular use which generally benefits the health of drivetrain seals and suspension components compared to vehicles that sit stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific causes of the failures recorded in 2025 and 2026, as the provided data does not detail the defect codes. Since the subsequent passes recorded no advisories, the issues likely involved minor consumable items such as bulbs, wiper blades, or minor fluid leaks that were easily replaced. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the control arm bushes, the condition of the brake pipes, and the integrity of the exhaust remains necessary to ensure no corrosion-related wear is lurking just beneath the MOT threshold.
