Seat Ibiza (2022)
2022 Seat Ibiza
CarHunch analysed 4,429 real MOT records for the 2022 Seat Ibiza. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 SEAT IBIZA is a genuinely reliable proposition, passing its MOT on the first attempt 93.8% of the time—well above the UK average of 80%. With only 4.5% of vehicles ever recording a dangerous defect, it's a safe choice from a structural and safety standpoint.
At an average mileage of 24,243 km for a two-year-old car, these are typically low-use examples, which helps explain the excellent pass rate and minimal failure rate of just 0.13 per vehicle. Before buying, request the full MOT history to check for any pattern in the 0.7 advisories per car—mostly minor wear items—but this is a car you can buy with confidence.
What to check before buying a 2022 Seat Ibiza
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
