Our Verdict
A high-mileage example of the city-focus
Focus your attention on the braking system. The MOT history reveals a progression from a worn parking brake lever pivot advisory in 2025 to a failure for abnormal brake lever movement in 2026. You should verify that these repairs were completed to a professional standard and check for any remaining play in the handbrake or pedal.
Given that this vehicle has surpassed 100,000 miles—significantly more than the typical SEAT Mii—you should scrutinize the service history for evidence of major component replacements. Negotiate the price based on the high mileage and the potential for increased wear and tear on the 999cc engine compared to lower-mileage examples.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, which typically results in low fuel consumption and a lower insurance group. Road tax for a 2017 model of this specification is generally affordable, keeping fixed annual costs down.
However, maintenance costs may rise as the vehicle enters its second hundred thousand miles. Expect higher spending on wear-and-tear items such as brakes, tyres, and suspension components, which is common for city cars used intensively.
Carefully inspect the braking system, specifically the handbrake lever and pedal travel, following the failures and advisories recorded in 2025 and 2026. Check the windscreen for any remaining damage or chips, as this was noted as an advisory in May 2025.
Additionally, test all external lighting. The vehicle has a history of electrical failures, including an offside front headlamp failure in 2024 and a registration plate lamp failure in 2026. Ensure all bulbs are functioning and there are no signs of corrosion in the light housings.
This purple 2017 SEAT Mii has covered 100,117 miles, which is substantially higher than the average for this model. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor electrical faults and more recent concerns regarding the braking system. It passed its most recent test in May 2026, though only after failing on brake lever movement and a registration plate lamp.
The SEAT Mii has a general MOT pass rate of 84.8%, with common failures typically involving headlamps, tyres, and exhaust systems.
