Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Focus your attention on the recurring issues identified in the MOT history. Specifically, check if the distorted offside rear wheel mentioned in 2025 and 2026 has been replaced or if it remains a concern. You should also verify the current state of the exhaust system, as corrosion has been noted in three consecutive years of testing (2024, 2025, and 2026).
Request evidence of any suspension work carried out since March 2024, when the front suspension arm bushes were noted as debonding. Given the high mileage and the frequency of failures for bulbs and tyres, ask for a full service history to determine if maintenance has been proactive or merely reactive to MOT failures.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for urban driving. Insurance groups for this model are typically low, and the road tax band is generally affordable for a vehicle of this age and engine size.
However, the higher-than-average mileage may lead to increased maintenance costs. Budget for the eventual replacement of the corroded exhaust and potential suspension work, as these are common wear points for this model and specific to this vehicle's history.
Carefully inspect the offside rear wheel for distortion and check all tyres for cuts or uneven wear, referencing the failures and advisories from March 2026. Examine the rear exhaust system for significant corrosion to determine if a replacement is now necessary.
Test all external lighting, including the headlamp levelling devices and the registration plate lamps, which were specific points of failure in the most recent test. Finally, listen for knocks or clunks from the front end during a test drive to assess the current condition of the suspension arm bushes.
This black 2015 SEAT Ibiza has recorded 109,744 miles, which is notably higher than the model average. The MOT history reveals a consistent pattern of failures related to lighting and tyre condition, alongside persistent advisories regarding exhaust corrosion and a distorted rear wheel.
Based on data from 223,522 vehicles, the Ibiza has an average MOT pass rate of 77.4%, with suspension arms and tyres being the most frequent failure points.
