Our Verdict
A sensible choice for city drivers seeking a low-mileage electric vehicle with a clean recent inspection record. It appears relatively underused and has avoided mechanical defects in its recent tests.
When inspecting this electric vehicle, prioritize the condition of the tyres, as the 2025 failure history highlights structural issues (bulges and perished walls) in previous sets. Ensure the current set is of a good quality and shows no signs of uneven wear or sidewalling damage. Since this is an EV, verify that there is a documented history of annual inspections and software updates, as these are vital for maintaining battery-related health.
Check the charging cable for any physical damage to the pins or insulation. Given the low mileage, look for any signs of dry rot on rubber components if the car has sat for long periods. Negotiate if the tyres are nearing the end of their life, given the previous structural failures.
Running costs for the MII EV are generally lower than petrol equivalents due to the high efficiency of electric motors. Fuel costs will vary significantly based on whether you charge at home or use public rapid chargers, but home charging remains the most economical method.
Maintenance is typically lower as there are no oil changes or timing belts to consider. You should expect an annual running cost of approximately £600-£900, covering insurance, low tax bands, and routine maintenance like brake checks.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the February 2025 MOT failure noted both a nearside front tyre with a bulge and a perished nearside rear tyre. Inspect the current sidewalls for any bubbles, lumps, or cracks that might indicate the car has hit kerbs hard.
Review the interior for wear and tear, which is common in smaller city cars. While the MOT history shows no mechanical defects, always test the regenerative braking feel, as low-mileage EVs can sometimes experience brake corrosion if the physical discs are not used frequently.
This 2021 SEAT MII EV has covered approximately 26,000 miles, which is below average for a vehicle of its age. While it suffered a failure in early 2025 due to tyre issues, the two most recent MOT tests passed without any recorded defects. The black paint finish and electric powertrain make it a practical, low-emission option for urban commuting.
No aggregate data is available for the SEAT MII EV, but it shares platforms with other reliable Volkswagen Group electric models.
