Our Verdict
This 2013 SEAT Ibiza shows a mixed MOT h
When inspecting this Ibiza, examine the most recent May 2026 test items closely, specifically verifying if the front and rear brake discs have been replaced or if they still show pitting and scoring. Check the suspension components for any progression of the nearside front shock absorber oil misting and rear bush wear noted in previous years. Negotiate on the price to reflect upcoming maintenance, and ensure you review any independent service documentation available alongside the official MOT record.
Insurance group ratings for this 1.2-litre petrol variant tend to be modest, keeping policy costs reasonable for many drivers. Fuel economy for this engine size is generally practical for daily commuting and urban driving. Road tax and routine servicing expenses should be anticipated, alongside near-term outlays for tyres and braking components highlighted in the recent test data.
Pay close attention to the braking system, checking both front and rear discs for the wear, pitting, and scoring recorded at the last test. Inspect the steering and suspension assemblies for play in the offside front outer track rod end ball joint and light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. Additionally, inspect all four tyre tread depths and inner/outer edges, noting the history of tyres wearing close to legal limits.
First registered in March 2013, this white petrol model with a 1197.0cc engine has covered 105,219 miles. The vehicle recorded an MOT failure in May 2026 due to an illegal tyre, alongside various advisories regarding worn brake discs, suspension misting, and steering play. While it secured a pass following rectification, the accumulation of recurring advisories across recent tests indicates that mechanical upkeep will be necessary.
SEAT Ibiza models from this era generally achieve an average MOT pass rate of around 77.4%, with suspension and tyre issues forming the most common reasons for test failures.
