MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Seat Leon (NJ04 NCU) between August 2007 and January 2017.

The record contains 10 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 10 January 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Steering (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “front brake excessively fluctuating both front (3.7.B.3)”; “Offside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.2.B.1f)”; “Offside Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded full outer sill (5.2.6)”.
