2008 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · CP08 AAV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-17 at 143,563 miles resulted in a pass, with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-06-09 at 143,559 miles ended in failure, though no specific defects were noted. This pattern of alternating pass/fail outcomes in 2024 and 2025 suggests inconsistent maintenance practices. While the latest test indicates compliance, the lack of defect details in both failing and passing records limits definitive assessment of underlying issues. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears stable but requires further inspection to confirm mechanical integrity. The mileage of 143,563 miles over 18 years aligns with an average of 7,976 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows gradual mileage progression, with 126,663 miles in 2023, 135,352 miles in 2024, and 143,563 miles in 2025. These increments suggest consistent operation without abrupt spikes, though the interval between the 2025-06-17 test and the current date of 2026-07-14 exceeds 13 months, exceeding the standard MOT renewal period. This gap may indicate delayed maintenance, warranting closer scrutiny of components prone to wear. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as older vehicles often develop binding or uneven friction. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body panels, requires evaluation for rust or damage, as corrosion can compromise safety. While MOT records show no active defects, the lack of detailed failure notes necessitates a hands-on assessment to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
