Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle's history, characterized by a stable trend and an absence of test failures. A clean pass on 21 September 2026 confirms the current status of the vehicle, following a period where the only recorded defect was a single advisory regarding tyre wear in 2025. The recorded mileage of 35,427 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,085 miles. This usage pattern suggests a regular duty cycle, which typically avoids the mechanical issues associated with long-term inactivity while remaining below the threshold where significant wear to the drivetrain and suspension components usually becomes prevalent. Attention should be directed toward the tyre condition and wheel alignment, given the 2025 advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit on the edge. A physical inspection should confirm that the current tyres exhibit even tread depth across the width of the contact patch. During the test drive, the buyer should monitor for any steering pull or instability, as uneven edge wear often indicates a need for tracking correction or the onset of wear in the front suspension bushes.

Our Verdict

A strong recommendation for buyers seeki

Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the 1.5L TSI engine has been serviced according to the manufacturer's intervals, as MOT records do not provide evidence of mechanical maintenance. Given the black paintwork, inspect the exterior for any scratches or swirl marks common to this colour.

Check that the offside front tyre has been replaced since the September 2025 MOT, where it was noted as being worn to 2.5mm. You should also verify the date of the last oil change to ensure the engine's longevity.

The 1498cc TSI EVO engine is designed for a balance of efficiency and performance, typically offering competitive fuel economy for a petrol hatchback. As a Euro 6 AP vehicle, it is ULEZ compliant, avoiding daily charges in low-emission zones.

Insurance costs will depend on the driver's profile, but the FR trim generally sits in a mid-range insurance group. Total annual running costs, including tax, fuel, and basic maintenance, are estimated to be moderate.

Specifically check the offside front tyre to ensure it is no longer worn close to the legal limit, as per the advisory on the 2025-09-04 MOT. While the MOT history is clean, inspect the brake discs for any surface corrosion, which can occasionally occur on vehicles with lower annual mileage.

Perform a thorough check of the interior upholstery and steering wheel for wear consistent with the 28,766 miles recorded. Ensure all electronic systems within the FR trim are functioning correctly.

This black SEAT Leon FR TSI EVO has recorded 28,766 miles as of its most recent MOT in September 2025. The vehicle has passed both of its recorded MOT tests without any failures. Equipped with a 1.5L petrol engine and Euro 6 AP status, it meets current emissions standards for UK urban areas.

Aggregate reliability data for this specific SEAT Leon FR TSI EVO variant is not currently available.
