Our Verdict
A reasonable option for those seeking an
Focus your enquiry on the maintenance carried out between 2024 and 2026. Specifically, ask for invoices or evidence that the front suspension arm bushes, which were noted as de-bonding in 2024, and the corroded rear coil springs mentioned in 2022, have been replaced.
Given the age of the vehicle, ensure the service history is consistent. While the MOTs are passed, these tests do not confirm oil changes or timing belt replacements, which are critical for the longevity of the 1390cc petrol engine.
The 1.4L petrol engine offers a balance of city usability and motorway capability, though fuel economy will be typical for a non-hybrid vehicle of this era. It generally falls into a modest insurance group, making it an economical choice for newer drivers or urban commuters.
Annual costs will be driven primarily by fuel and the need for preventative maintenance to avoid the common brake and tyre issues seen in the model's aggregate data. Expect a standard UK road tax rate for a 2012 petrol engine of this size.
Pay close attention to the front suspension. The 2024 MOT highlighted worn and de-bonding lower arm rear bushes on both the nearside and offside; check for any current knocking sounds or instability during a test drive.
Inspect the braking system for any signs of sticking or uneven wear, as 'brake binding' was noted on both the front and rear nearside wheels in previous years. Additionally, check the current condition of the tyres and the rear coil springs to ensure the corrosion noted in 2022 has not progressed.
This 2012 white SEAT Ibiza has a recorded mileage of 92,777 miles, which aligns closely with the model average. While the MOT history from 2022 to 2024 shows a pattern of wear-and-tear advisories regarding tyres, brakes, and suspension, the most recent tests in 2025 and 2026 were passed with no defects recorded.
The SEAT Ibiza has an average MOT pass rate of 77.5%, with the most frequent failures relating to tyres, brake discs, and windscreen wipers.
