Our Verdict
This 2013 SEAT Ibiza shows an encouragin
When inspecting this Ibiza, pay close attention to the service and maintenance record to verify how frequently consumable items have been replaced. Given the recurring advisory notices for tyre cuts noted in both 2022 and 2023, check the current condition and tread depth of all four tyres carefully, and look for any uneven wear patterns that might indicate alignment issues.
Negotiation leverage can be found by examining the offside front shock absorber, which was noted with a light misting of oil in both the 2022 and 2023 tests. While these did not progress to outright failures in subsequent years, you should inspect the suspension for any signs of worsening leaks or degraded handling during a test drive, factoring potential replacement costs into your offer.
Equipped with a 1390cc petrol engine, this SEAT Ibiza sits in a moderate insurance group and offers manageable fuel consumption for daily commuting and urban driving. Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) will align with standard petrol bands for a 2013 registered car.
Typical maintenance costs should remain reasonable due to the widespread availability of parts for the Ibiza platform. Routine servicing and the replacement of common wear items like tyres, brake discs, and windscreen wipers—which aggregate data shows are the top MOT failure reasons for this model—will form the bulk of your annual upkeep.
Begin your physical inspection by thoroughly checking the tyres, referencing the historical advisories for sidewall cuts. Ensure that the nearside rear and offside front tyres are free from structural damage, bulges, or excessive wear, and verify that matching quality rubber is fitted.
Next, inspect the front suspension, specifically looking at the offside front shock absorber for any active fluid leaks, corrosion, or knocking noises when driving over rough road surfaces. Finally, test all electrical functions, check the condition of the windscreen and wipers, and inspect the braking system for adequate bite and responsive pedal feel.
First registered in April 2013, this green SEAT Ibiza with a 1390cc petrol engine has covered 48,176 miles as of its February 2026 test. The vehicle's MOT record displays a consistent pattern of passes with zero outright failures recorded across its recent history, alongside recurring advisory items regarding tyre condition and suspension components.
The SEAT Ibiza demonstrates solid general reliability within the UK market, supported by an aggregate MOT pass rate of 77.5% across more than 220,000 analysed vehicles.
