Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and negotiate on pr
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise checking the immediate condition of all four tyres. The 2026 MOT history shows multiple failures for tyres being worn close to the legal limit, perished, or having cords exposed. Ensure that all work identified in the June 2026 failure has been fully rectified and ask for receipts to prove the new components were fitted.
Additionally, investigate the suspension. The vehicle has had previous advisories and failures regarding suspension arm bushes and a corroded rear coil spring. Check for any unusual knocking or creaking sounds when driving over bumps, as these can indicate worn suspension components which have appeared in this car's history.
With a 1197cc petrol engine, this Ibiza is likely to sit in a relatively low insurance group and tax band, making it economical for newer drivers. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a small hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs will be influenced by the tyre and suspension issues noted in the MOT records. While these are standard wear-and-tear items, the frequency of tyre-related failures suggests you should budget for regular replacement. Estimated annual running costs are typically moderate for this class of vehicle.
Specifically inspect the tyres for any signs of cracking or perishing, as the 2025 and 2026 MOTs both flagged tyres that were ageing or worn. Check the tread depth on all tyres to ensure they meet the legal minimum and are not unevenly worn, which was a specific failure point in June 2026.
Examine the lighting system, particularly the headlamp alignment and the reversing lamp, as these were highlighted as failures in the most recent test. Finally, check the underside of the car for signs of corrosion, specifically around the rear coil springs, following the failure recorded in 2026.
This 2015 white SEAT Ibiza 1.2L petrol has covered 42,891 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 6,788 miles per year. However, the MOT history reveals a trend of recurring issues, specifically regarding tyre condition and suspension components. The vehicle has failed its most recent MOT on seven distinct items, indicating recent maintenance may be required.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.4% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being suspension arms, tyres, and windscreen wipers.
