2018 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · BD18 ACF

The SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 April 2025 at 35,613 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the vehicle's recorded history. Annual tests show consistently low mileage accumulation for an eight-year-old car. The April 2021 test recorded 15,296 miles, rising to 20,656 by April 2022, 26,068 by April 2023, 30,138 by April 2024, and 35,613 by April 2025. This equates to roughly 4,450 miles per year with no gaps or sudden jumps. The DVSA record contains no advisories, failures, or flagged consumable wear across any entry, which suggests the car saw light use and periodic testing rather than neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low mileage combined with standing periods can allow corrosion to develop on brake discs, suspension bushes, and underbody structures that a pass with no defects would not capture if within limits. The absence of any historical advisory on coil springs, brake calipers, or exhaust emissions gives no prior warning of hidden fatigue. Verify the odometer against service stamps and inspect tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition for age-related degradation. The MOT history implies a careful previous owner, but the 15-month gap to today's date means components may have aged since the last test without formal assessment.
