Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the low mileage of 35,687, you should verify if the vehicle has been used for short journeys, which can sometimes impact battery health and oil degradation. While the MOT history is clean, you must request the full service history to ensure the oil and filters have been changed at the required intervals, regardless of the low annual mileage.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and battery, as these components can perish over time even if the car is not driven extensively. Ensure the 1.2L petrol engine starts smoothly and idles without vibration, as this is a key indicator of health for this specific engine variant.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption for urban driving. As a 2016 model, it falls into a moderate road tax bracket, and the Ibiza typically sits in a lower insurance group, making it affordable for new drivers or city commuters.
Typical maintenance for this model is straightforward, though you should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, is approximately £900-£1,200.
Start by testing the windscreen washer system, as this caused an MOT failure in November 2025. While the repair should have been completed for the subsequent pass, it is worth verifying the operation of the pumps and nozzles.
Referencing aggregate data for the SEAT Ibiza, pay close attention to the suspension arms and the condition of the tyres, as these are the most common failure points for this model. Check for any uneven tyre wear or knocking sounds from the suspension when driving over bumps, as these are known weak points across the wider vehicle population.
This red 2016 SEAT Ibiza 1.2L petrol has recorded 35,687 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The vehicle has a consistent testing history with four clean passes and one minor failure related to the windscreen washer. Its mileage is significantly lower than the model average, making it a compelling option in its class.
The SEAT Ibiza has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 77.4% across over 220,000 analysed vehicles.
