Our Verdict
A sensible choice for urban driving, provided the high mileage is factored into negotiations. The recent MOT history shows a clean record following a single failure in 2024.
Given that this vehicle has covered 94,877 miles in approximately 13 years, you should check for signs of wear in the interior, particularly the driver's seat bolster and steering wheel. Ask the seller for evidence of regular servicing, as the MOT history only confirms legal compliance rather than mechanical upkeep.
When inspecting, pay close attention to the tyres and lighting, as these are the most common failure points for this model across the wider SEAT MII dataset. Ensure any recent work related to the 2024 MOT failure is documented to confirm the issue was fully resolved.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it likely to sit in a lower insurance group and tax band, which is ideal for city commuters. Fuel economy should be relatively high due to the small engine displacement.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically moderate, though you should budget for more frequent tyre replacements and bulb changes given the aggregate data for this model. Total estimated annual running costs are expected to be manageable for a budget-conscious driver.
Based on the aggregate data for the SEAT MII, you should specifically inspect the headlamps and exhaust system, as these are frequent failure points for this model. Although this specific vehicle had no defects recorded in its 2025 MOT, checking the condition of the tyres is essential given the model's history of tyre-related failures.
Additionally, because the vehicle has covered nearly 95,000 miles, inspect the suspension components and brake wear. While the 2024 MOT failure did not specify the cause, it is worth checking that all recent repairs were carried out to a high standard.
This 2013 SEAT MII is a small-capacity 999cc petrol model with 94,877 miles on the clock. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,338 per year, the vehicle has passed its last three MOT tests without recorded defects. The history shows one failure in May 2024 at 90,015 miles, but it has since maintained a clean record.
The SEAT MII shows an average MOT pass rate of 85.0% across 17,663 analysed vehicles, with common failures related to headlamps, tyres, and exhausts.
