Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent recur
When viewing this vehicle, prioritize checking the condition of all four tyres. The most recent MOT history specifically noted cracking/perishing on the nearside and offside rear tyres, as well as edge wear on the offside front. You should also check the cost of a full set of tyres in your budget negotiations.
Furthermore, investigate the braking system. The MOT records for both 2025 and 2026 flagged binding service brakes (offside front in 2025, offside rear in 2026). Ask the seller for evidence of recent brake servicing or disc/pad replacements to ensure this isn't a sign of sticking calipers. Finally, verify that the headlamp lenses have been cleaned or polished, as both front lamps were noted for having a product on the lens in the last two tests.
As a 1.4L petrol engine, this Ibiza is likely to sit in a moderate insurance group and a relatively efficient tax band. Fuel economy for this engine size is generally acceptable for urban and suburban driving, though actual figures will depend on the vehicle's maintenance state.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve routine consumables like tyres and brake components, which have appeared frequently in the recent MOT history. Given the high mileage, you should also budget for potential suspension or exhaust components, which are common failure points for this model type.
Specifically inspect the tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking or uneven wear, as the MOT history has highlighted 'perishing' and 'worn on edge' issues across multiple tests. Check the brake discs for uneven wear or heavy scoring, which could be related to the binding issues noted in the 2025 and 2026 records.
Additionally, examine the headlamp clarity. The MOT history shows a recurring advisory for 'product on the lens' on both the nearside and offside front lamps in the two most recent tests. Lastly, check the underside of the car for exhaust security, following the failure recorded in early 2023.
This 2011 SEAT Ibiza (AF61JBX) is a 1.4L petrol model with 109,322 miles recorded at its last MOT in March 2026. The MOT history shows a transition from a clean record in 2023 and 2024 to a more advisory-heavy result in 2025 and 2026. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,788 miles per year, reflecting a vehicle that has been driven extensively.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.4% MOT pass rate, with common failures often related to suspension arms, tyres, and windscreen wipers.
