Our Verdict

This is a strong candidate for a buyer seeking a modern plug-in hybrid. With two consecutive clean MOT results and mileage that tracks closely with typical usage, it presents a predictable profile.

When inspecting this specific 1.4L PHEV, focus on the hybrid system's integration. Ensure the charging port is in good condition and that the vehicle accepts a charge without error. Since the MOT history shows no defects, you should still verify that the service history includes regular checks on the high-voltage battery and cooling systems.

Negotiation should be based on the remaining manufacturer warranty, which is a significant factor for a 2021 model. Check the condition of the tyres, as the aggregate data for this model suggests tyres are a frequent failure point across the wider fleet.

As a Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), running costs will depend heavily on how often the battery is charged. If driven primarily on electric power, fuel costs can be significantly lower than a standard petrol equivalent. Tax bands for this 1395cc hybrid are generally favourable compared to pure internal combustion engines.

Maintenance costs for this SEAT model are expected to be typical for a mid-range hatchback, though hybrid-specific components may require specialist attention. Estimated annual running costs cover fuel (assuming regular charging), insurance, and routine maintenance.

Given that the MOT history for BK71MYM shows no recorded defects in 2024 or 2025, the immediate mechanical legality appears clear. However, you should pay close attention to the tyres; while this specific car has no recorded tyre failures, it is the most common failure reason for this model type in our data.

Additionally, inspect the hybrid charging cables and the integrity of the 1.4L petrol engine's components. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear which could indicate alignment issues, a common area of concern for vehicles with high torque delivery like this PHEV.

This 2021 SEAT Leon Xcellence PHEV S-A is a relatively recent grey hybrid with 40,234 miles on the clock. The vehicle has a clean MOT history, having passed its 2024 and 2025 tests with no defects recorded. Compared to the model aggregate average of 10,092 miles per year, this vehicle's mileage is consistent with standard driving patterns.

The SEAT Leon model shows an 89.2% average MOT pass rate across 394 analysed vehicles, suggesting generally stable reliability.
