2013 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · AX13 AOO

The SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 17 February 2026 at 123,684 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the latest three passed tests showing no advisories or faults. Prior to the current certificate, the vehicle logged two paired fail-and-pass cycles on the same dates in 2024 and 2025, yet the failure records list no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical rejection. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2013 vehicle, averaging roughly 9,500 miles per year against the 123,684 miles now shown. The records show steady yearly accumulation: 99,610 miles in February 2024, 110,575 at the February 2025 pass, and 123,684 by February 2026. The paired entries on 20 February 2024 and 17 February 2025, where a fail at near-identical mileage preceded a pass hours later, suggest the car was presented, briefly rejected on non-mechanical grounds, then retested successfully the same day. Given the absence of any recorded advisories across five years of testing, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural corrosion, suspension bushes, and brake disc wear, as MOT cleanliness at this age does not confirm component life remaining. The lack of flagged faults implies previous owners kept the car to minimum legal standard rather than proactively replacing consumables early. A pre-purchase check should prioritise underside structural integrity and drivetrain condition, since 123,684 miles on original mounts or exhaust components is plausible and unverified by the record. The repeated same-day fail-pass pattern points to lax workshop handling rather than deferred maintenance, but physical verification remains essential before purchase.
