2008 SEAT LEON2.0L Petrol

The SEAT Leon passed its most recent MOT on 24 November 2025 at 118,170 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no recurring mechanical or structural faults. The only anomaly sits in the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, where the vehicle failed and passed on consecutive days at near-identical mileages, yet the records show no defects listed against either failure. That pattern points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a deterioration in the car's condition. Annual mileage has stayed low for an 18-year-old car. The record shows 112,933 miles in November 2023, 115,411 miles at the November 2024 failure, 115,415 at the pass one day later, and 118,170 at the November 2025 tests. That works out to roughly 2,700 miles a year between 2023 and 2025, well under the 6,565-mile average for the vehicle's age. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of heavy use, though the repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries mean the buyer should confirm with the seller why those tests were logged without defects. Given the absence of advisories on any test, there is no flagged wear to suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion in the official data. The clean pass at 118,170 miles suggests the previous owner kept basic upkeep current. The twin 2024 and 2025 fail-with-no-defect entries do, however, warrant a check of the DVSA test certificate and any re-test paperwork to rule out omitted faults or clerical error at the garage. In person, the buyer should still inspect structural integrity underneath for rust, confirm tyre tread and exhaust emissions are within limits, and verify the brake calipers are not binding after standing. Low annual use can hide perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres that a clean MOT will not always catch.
