2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L Petrol · WK63 XHD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in October 2025 at 73,472 miles shows a pass following a failure just one day prior. While the owner addressed the immediate failures regarding the insecure exhaust and offside front suspension arm bush, the recurring presence of brake-related advisories and corrosion suggests that components are only replaced when they reach a failure point rather than during scheduled service intervals. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 73,472 miles represents an average of approximately 5,652 miles per year. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain, yet it often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and corrosion from inactivity. Between September 2023 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 8,720 miles, confirming consistent low-mileage operation. However, the low mileage does not prevent the structural corrosion noted on the exhaust box, which was flagged in the two most recent tests. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows pitted and scored discs on both front and rear axles between 2023 and 2025, with a specific note regarding the offside rear service brake requiring adjustment. The inner-edge wear on the front tyres noted in 2024 suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which aligns with the failed offside front suspension arm bush in late 2025. The exhaust system should be examined thoroughly to ensure that the corrosion on the rear box has not progressed into structural failure that would require a complete system replacement.
