Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this black 1.4L Ibiza, you should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension system. The November 2025 failure specifically cited reduced damping in both rear shock absorbers and an inoperative parking brake on one side; ensure these repairs were carried out to a high standard and not just a temporary fix to pass the test.
Ask the seller for specific documentation regarding the shock absorber and exhaust repairs mentioned in the 2025 failure. You should also check the tyre condition closely, as the MOT history shows a consistent trend of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges across 2023 and 2024.
As a 1.4L petrol model, this Ibiza typically falls into a moderate insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy for this engine size is generally efficient for urban and suburban driving, though actual figures will depend on maintenance levels.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regularly, particularly regarding consumables like tyres and brake components, which have appeared frequently in this vehicle's MOT history. Estimated annual running costs include fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Focus heavily on the underside and suspension. The 2025 MOT failure for 'reduced damping effect' on both nearside and offside rear shock absorbers suggests the suspension may be nearing the end of its service life. Additionally, verify the security of the exhaust system, as this was a recorded failure in November 2025.
Check the braking system and the parking brake functionality. Given the 'insufficient reserve travel' noted in 2024 and the 'inoperative parking brake' in 2025, a thorough test of the handbrake and pedal feel is essential. Finally, inspect the tyres for uneven wear, as the vehicle has a recorded history of edge-wear issues.
This 2014 SEAT Ibiza 1.4 Petrol shows a mileage of 64,877 miles as of late 2025, which is slightly above the model average of 6,776 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures, most notably a significant failure in November 2025 involving shock absorbers and the parking brake. While the 2025 test was passed with no defects, the previous year's records indicate recurring issues with tyre wear and braking components.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.5% average MOT pass rate, with common failures related to tyres, brake discs, and windscreen wipers.
