Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific white Ibiza, pay close attention to the braking system. While the 2023 MOT noted pitted or scored rear brake discs, you should verify that these were replaced or refurbished rather than just being monitored.
Given the 2022 advisory regarding a nearside front oil leak and offside front shock absorber misting, check the engine bay and undercarriage for any fresh signs of fluid seepage. It is also worth confirming if the suspension arm bush mentioned in the 2022 test was replaced, as this is a common point of wear on this model.
The 1197cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically efficient for a small hatchback.
Maintenance costs should be predictable, though you should budget for standard wear-and-tear items like tyres and wipers, which are noted as common failure points for this model aggregate. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and routine maintenance, sit in the mid-range for this vehicle class.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking components. Specifically, check the condition of the rear brake discs and the front shock absorbers to ensure the issues noted in the 2022 and 2023 MOTs have been fully resolved.
Additionally, examine the nearside front area for any evidence of the oil leak recorded in August 2022. Finally, test the windscreen wipers and the integrity of the windscreen, as these were previously flagged as ineffective during a 2023 inspection.
This 2016 SEAT Ibiza (VN66AAJ) is a 1.2L petrol model with 76,371 miles on the clock. The MOT history shows a transition from minor mechanical advisories and failures in 2022 and 2023 to two consecutive years of clean passes in 2024 and 2025. Its mileage is higher than the model average of 6,788 per year, reflecting a more active usage pattern.
The SEAT Ibiza shows a 77.4% average MOT pass rate across the analysed sample, with suspension arms and wipers being frequent points of concern.
