Our Verdict
This 2007 SEAT Ibiza presents a generall
When inspecting this Ibiza, thoroughly check the front suspension arm bushes and both front tyres, as these were flagged as advisory items on the July 2026 MOT test at 92,672 miles. Verify that the central rear heat shield—also noted as loose during the latest test—has been secured. Request any available service history to verify when timing belts, oil changes, and other routine maintenance items were last addressed, given that MOT tests record only roadworthiness at a specific point in time.
Equipped with an 1896.0cc diesel engine, this SEAT Ibiza falls into a traditional road tax bracket for vehicles of its era. Insurance groups for this engine variant are generally moderate, making it accessible for a range of drivers. Fuel economy for the 1.9-litre diesel unit is typically strong on longer journeys, helping to offset routine maintenance costs such as tyre replacements and brake servicing.
Pay close attention to the front suspension setup, specifically the suspension arm pins or bushes mentioned in the July 2026 test, and look out for any tyre cracking or perishing on the nearside and offside front tyres. Review the underbody for any signs of the minor oil leaks or brake disc wear noted in previous tests from August 2022. Additionally, ensure the central rear heat shield is properly fastened to avoid rattles or further loosening.
First registered in November 2007, this red 1.896cc diesel SEAT Ibiza has covered 92,672 miles. Its MOT history shows recent passes in July 2026, January 2025, and January 2014 (noted as 2024), alongside a 2022 test that recorded various advisories concerning brake discs, oil leaks, and steering components. The vehicle demonstrates a solid test record overall, though current advisory items require attention.
SEAT Ibiza models from this era achieve an average MOT pass rate of 77.5% across national data, with common failure points typically involving tyres, brake discs, and windscreen wipers.
