Our Verdict
A highly attractive option for small car buyers due to its exceptionally low mileage and a flawless MOT record. This example represents a safe purchase that has consistently met testing standards without any defects.
When inspecting this specific Ibiza, the primary focus should be verifying the low mileage against the service history. Since the car has averaged roughly 5,500 miles per year (lower than the model average of 6,774 miles), ensure it has been serviced according to time intervals rather than just distance. Check for any signs of flat-spotting on the tyres caused by low-distance use.
While there are no MOT failures recorded for this FH18BVN registration, you should still inspect the suspension and brake components, as these are common failure points for this model across the wider fleet. Given the silver paint, check for any stone chips on the bonnet which are common even on lower mileage vehicles.
With a small 999cc engine, this vehicle sits in a lower insurance group and benefits from relatively low road tax bands. Owners can expect competitive fuel economy, particularly for shorter commutes, which the low mileage history suggests.
Annual maintenance costs are generally low for this class, though buyers should budget for regular oil changes and occasional consumable replacements. Estimated annual running costs typically fall between £700 and £1,000, accounting for fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
The MOT history for this vehicle shows zero defects recorded over the last five years, which is a significant indicator. However, you should manually inspect the condition of the suspension arms and brake discs, as aggregate data for the fleet identifies these as top failure reasons for the Ibiza model. Ensure there is no excessive play in the bushings.
Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and blades; while they haven't caused failures here, they are common areas of concern for this model. Verify the windscreen for any chips or cracks that might not have been caught in the previous clean tests.
This 2018 SEAT Ibiza presents a very strong profile, having covered only over 33,000 miles—well below the national average for its age. The vehicle has passed five consecutive MOT tests since 2022 without a single recorded defect or advisory, suggesting a high level of consistency in its presentation. The 999cc petrol engine is well-suited for those looking for low running costs and urban driving flexibility.
The SEAT Ibiza generally enjoys a solid reliability reputation, though aggregate data suggests monitoring suspension and brake components as they are common wear items across the model.
