2008 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · AF55 PAF

The 2008 SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 126,970 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an 18-year-old vehicle. The records show 108,596 miles in August 2021 rising to 126,970 by August 2025, an accumulation of 18,374 miles over four years or roughly 4,600 miles per year. This is below the 7,054-mile age-average and points to light use. The DVSA history is sparse, with no advisories or failures logged across any test from 2021 to 2025, so the dataset offers little evidence of deferred consumable work. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record captures only pass-day condition and a 17-year-old Iberian-built hatchback is prone to hidden rust. The tester logged no worn suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, yet these components degrade with age regardless of low mileage and may escape detection between annual tests. Given the clean advisory sheet, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory roadworthiness. The absence of tyre, brake disc, or emission flags suggests routine upkeep rather than neglect. Verify service history and inspect brake friction material and tyre sidewalls physically before purchase, since the MOT does not measure remaining pad thickness or intermediate wear.
