2017 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · YB67 AAX

The SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 7 November 2025 at 68,284 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. Maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual examination from December 2023 onward showing no mechanical or structural advisories. A notable anomaly appears in the back-to-back fail and pass events on 5 and 6 December 2024 and again on 6 and 7 November 2025, each pair logged at identical mileages with no defects recorded; this pattern suggests administrative or non-mechanical test outcomes rather than worsening condition. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old hatchback. The record shows 48,160 miles at the 6 December 2023 test, rising to 59,157 miles by 6 December 2024, then 68,284 miles by 7 November 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 miles in the first interval and 9,100 in the second, producing a lifetime average near 7,600 miles per year. No abrupt accumulation or standing gaps emerge from the data. The supplied history is sparse, covering only three test cycles, yet it remains clean of recorded faults. Given the absence of flagged defects, the buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of age-related wear components that MOT advisories might otherwise highlight. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue, and assess underbody structural integrity for corrosion given the vehicle's 2017 manufacture. Tyres and wiper blades should be checked for consumable condition despite no failures logged. The consecutive failure and immediate pass with zero defects warrants direct verification with DVSA to confirm the refusal reasons were non-mechanical, such as documentation or presentational issues at the testing station. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory testing, but the sparse record limits insight into interim servicing. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent to validate the silent components.
