2010 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · LRZ 7037

The 2010 SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 4 March 2025 at 142,222 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 3 February 2024 examination at 137,547 miles also passed without fault. The vehicle shows no escalating mechanical concerns across the available history. Mileage sits at a typical level for a sixteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,889 miles per year against the current 142,222 miles. The record jumps from 108,042 miles at the 14 September 2019 test to 129,545 miles by 4 October 2021, a gap of just over two years with 21,503 miles added. From 2021 to the 2024 tests the car covered only about 8,000 miles, then 4,675 miles to the 2025 pass. The DVSA data is sparse, with five entries spanning 2019 to 2025, and shows no advisories or recorded wear items at any stage. A failed test on 3 February 2024 at 137,474 miles preceded the same-day pass at 137,547 miles, yet the record lists no defects for either outcome. This suggests a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, though the buyer should confirm the failure reason via the full DVLA dataset. Given the clean advisory history, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current without neglected consumables surfacing at test. In person, the buyer should still scrutinise structural integrity for corrosion on sills and subframes, check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related degradation, and measure brake disc and pad thickness. At 142,222 miles the drivetrain and exhaust emissions warrant a live diagnostic, since the MOT record offers no visibility of intermittent faults outside test-day snapshots.
