2008 SEAT Leon 1.9L Diesel · WK58 ACZ

The SEAT Leon passed its most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 at 119,418 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle moved from a failure with no listed defects in June 2025 to a clean pass nine months later, showing no worsening mechanical faults in the official record. The recorded mileage of 119,418 against an 18-year life gives a low average of roughly 6,634 miles per year. A striking feature is the tiny 21-mile gap between the 16 June 2025 failure at 119,397 miles and the March 2026 pass at 119,418 miles. This suggests the car stood largely unused for much of that period, then covered a negligible distance before retesting. The sparse history offers little wear data but implies light, intermittent use rather than high-load driving. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age-related corrosion on structural members, subframes, and suspension mounting points, given the 2008 build and long idle spells. Standing vehicles often develop seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and degraded rubber bushes that a no-defect MOT may not capture if the test distance was minimal. The June 2025 failure with no defects recorded points to an administrative or non-mechanical cause such as a documentation issue rather than a worn component. Verify the reason for that failure with DVSA before purchase, and confirm the March 2026 pass reflects a genuine road test rather than a token inspection on 21 miles of use.
