2019 SEAT Leon 1.5L Petrol · AA14 JUD

The SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 May 2025 at 65,673 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 4 May 2024 at 57,727 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 27 April 2024 at 57,537 miles, which the DVSA record shows with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or unrecorded-cause failure rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories appear across the five-year history, so the vehicle shows no worsening pattern of wear or recurring defects. Recorded mileage tracks close to typical use for a 2019 car. The owner covered 47,184 miles by 13 April 2023, then 38,502 at the 28 April 2022 test, confirming roughly 9,000 miles per year. Between the April 2024 failure at 57,537 miles and the May 2024 pass at 57,727 miles only 190 miles were added in a week, suggesting a quick re-test after the earlier issue. From May 2024 to May 2025 the car added 7,946 miles, keeping annual use consistent with prior years and showing no sudden accumulation that would accelerate drivetrain or suspension fatigue. Given the clean pass history and absence of flagged corrosion, brake, or suspension concerns, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition. Seven years of UK road salt exposure can hide surface rust not caught in a no-defect MOT. Check coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs for age-related fatigue even though testers raised no advisories. The 27 April 2024 failure with zero defects recorded warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason via the full certificate, as the summary omits the cause. Beyond that anomaly, the Leon's record implies a careful keeper who addressed issues promptly and avoided letting consumables like tyres or wipers lapse to advisory stage.
