2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.4L Petrol · YA62 KTU

The 2013 SEAT IBIZA demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-11 at 78,381 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 show mixed outcomes, including two failures on 2024-08-20 and 2023-09-02, both at identical mileages of 75,898 and 72,751 respectively, though no defects were noted. This suggests potential administrative anomalies or minor issues resolved before subsequent passes. The absence of structural, braking, or suspension defects in the latest test indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, with no immediate safety risks identified. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging ~6,029 miles annually. The 2023-09-05 test at 72,751 miles was followed by a failure 10 days later at the same mileage, raising questions about the accuracy of recorded data or the presence of transient issues. Subsequent tests show gradual mileage increases, with 75,898 miles recorded in 2024-08-20 and 78,381 miles in 2025-12-11, reflecting consistent operation. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into component wear between tests. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension system, as older IBIZAs are prone to worn bushes and coil springs, particularly at high mileage. The absence of brake-related defects in the latest test is reassuring, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is recommended to confirm no hidden corrosion or binding. Structural integrity appears intact, with no rust or bodywork issues flagged, though a thorough check of the exhaust system and emissions controls is advised given the vehicle’s age. The MOT history suggests no recurring mechanical failures, but a pre-purchase survey remains essential to address potential hidden faults.
