Our Verdict
A viable option due to its low mileage,
Prioritise reviewing the service records to understand how the February 2024 engine management light (MIL) malfunction was addressed. Because the windscreen washer has failed twice in the MOT history (2024 and 2026), verify that the system is now operating correctly and not just temporarily patched.
Negotiate based on the current state of the tyres; the February 2026 MOT noted the offside front tyre was worn to 3mm, which is close to the legal limit. Ensure that any remaining advisories have been rectified and that there is evidence of regular oil and filter changes despite the low annual mileage.
The 999cc petrol engine is built for economy, making it a cost-effective choice for city driving and low-mileage users. Insurance groups for this engine size are typically low, and the vehicle should fall into a reasonable road tax bracket for a 2020 petrol model.
Maintenance costs are generally standard for the Ibiza range, though the MOT data indicates that tyres and brake discs are common wear items for this model. Estimated annual costs will be kept down by the vehicle's low usage patterns.
Check the dashboard for any active warning lights, specifically referencing the 2024 failure regarding the engine management light. Test the windscreen washer system thoroughly, as this has been a repeated point of failure in the MOT history.
Inspect the central rear seat belt for smooth operation and check the tread depth of all tyres, particularly the offside front, following the 2026 advisory. As brake discs are a top failure reason for this model aggregate, check for significant lip wear or scoring on the discs.
This black 2020 SEAT Ibiza has covered 24,988 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 6,786 miles per year. The MOT record shows five tests with two failures; these include a 2024 failure for an engine management light and a 2026 failure involving a seat belt and tyre wear. While the vehicle has passed its most recent test, the history reveals recurring issues with the windscreen washer system.
The SEAT Ibiza has an average MOT pass rate of 77.5%, with the most frequent failures relating to tyres, brake discs, and windscreen wipers.
