2002 SEAT Leon 1.9L Diesel · AF52 YFJ

The most recent MOT on 3 December 2025 recorded a pass at 159,346 miles, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the statutory road‑worthiness criteria. With a pass recorded at each annual test since 2023 and no defects logged, the maintenance trend appears stable rather than deteriorating. At 159,346 miles for a 2002 model, the car averages roughly 6,600 miles per year, which sits within normal usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage increments between tests are modest – 156,916 miles in December 2023, 157,602 miles in December 2024 and 159,346 miles in December 2025 – showing no sudden spikes that would suggest periods of intensive use or neglect. The record contains no gaps or unexplained mileage jumps, and the absence of recorded defects across three consecutive years suggests routine servicing has been observed. Although the MOT data shows no recorded faults, a buyer should still conduct a thorough visual and functional inspection. Verify the condition of suspension components such as bushings and coil springs for any creak or uneven tyre wear, and test the brakes for pedal feel and disc condition, as wear can develop between annual tests. Examine the chassis and wheel arches for any sign of corrosion, especially around mounting points, and check the exhaust system for leaks or rust that may not trigger an MOT advisory until later. Confirm that tyres have adequate tread depth and are evenly worn, and ensure all lights, wipers and seat‑belt mechanisms operate correctly. These checks will complement the clean MOT history and give a clearer picture of the car’s long‑term mechanical health.
