Is the 2010 SEAT Ibiza ST 1.4 petrol any good?

Would you say there are any compelling reasons for NOT buying a 2010 SEAT Ibiza ST (1.4 petrol) with 42,000 miles on the clock? I’ve been offered the car by a dealer for £7075.

Depends if it's the old 1.4 engine or not. If it is I'd suggest steering well clear, it's a really bad engine.
