2013 SEAT Ibiza 1.6L Diesel · YF13 AEJ

This Seat Ibiza presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its MOT history. The most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 98,725 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing without advisories over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is typical for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 7,594 miles per year. The distance covered between the August 2023 test at 87,233 miles and the August 2025 test at 98,725 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 5,700 miles per annum. There are no irregular gaps or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or excessive commercial use. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed immediately before passing on the same day, specifically on 29 August 2023 and 15 August 2024. While the DVSA record lists no specific defects for these failures, this pattern often indicates minor, quick-fix issues such as blown bulbs or wiper blade replacements. The absence of recurring mechanical failures or structural advisories across multiple years is a positive indicator of the car's general health. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of the chassis or suspension bushes. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for wear on the brake discs and the condition of the coil springs is advisable. The lack of recorded advisories is encouraging, but manual verification of consumable wear remains necessary to ensure the vehicle does not require immediate maintenance.
