Depreciation Insight: How Fast Does a Seat Ibiza Lose Value?

Understanding depreciation is crucial when buying or selling a used Seat Ibiza. A well‑maintained Seat Ibiza typically follows these trends:

  • Initial year: 15–20% drop from the original new‑car price.
  • Year 2–3: Roughly an additional 10–12% loss annually.
  • Years 4–5: Total depreciation of 30–35% over the first five years.
  • Beyond five years: Slow, steady decline at about 5% per year, if the car is kept in good condition.
