2020 SEAT Leon 2.0L Petrol · BE03 ALL

The Vito holds a valid MOT certificate from the 23 October 2025 test at 125,866 miles, yet the history reveals a consistent pattern of initial failure followed by a pass within days each autumn. In 2025 the tester failed the van on 15 October and passed it eight days later; the same sequence occurred in 2024 with a four-day gap between the 15 and 19 October tests. This repeat cycle suggests minor defects are being identified and rectified promptly, but the underlying trend shows the vehicle requires annual intervention to meet the standard. Mileage stands at 125,866 miles against a 2010 registration, averaging roughly 7,867 miles per year which is typical for a light commercial of this age. The supplied record does not list the odometer reading at each test, so the rate of accumulation between inspections cannot be verified from this data alone. Tests have clustered reliably each October, indicating the van has remained in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Because the failure entries carry no defect details in the supplied record, a buyer must treat the recurring failures as a signal to inspect the usual Vito weak points thoroughly. Focus on front suspension bushes and ball joints, rear leaf spring mounts, brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and the structural integrity of the sills, chassis legs and floor pan. Exhaust emissions should also be checked given the age and diesel engine, while the rapid re-test passes imply the faults were rectifiable but not necessarily trivial. The current pass confirms roadworthiness as of late October 2025, but the annual fail-then-pass pattern means the next test in autumn 2026 could follow the same course. Budget for consumable replacement and allow time for a detailed underbody inspection before purchase; the record shows the van can pass, yet it has not done so at first attempt in the last two cycles.
