2021 SEAT Leon Xcellence Phev S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric · BV71 EKD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 October 2025 at 30,227 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the mechanical issues identified in the previous year have been addressed. However, the record shows a recurring note regarding undertrays preventing a full visual inspection of the chassis, which leaves a margin of risk regarding structural corrosion or damage that the tester cannot verify. At 30,227 miles over five years, the car has averaged approximately 6,045 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage patterns for a hybrid vehicle. The interval between the October 2024 test and the 2025 test shows an accumulation of 6,231 miles, indicating consistent annual use. This relatively low mileage suggests that the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to excessive wear-and-tear compared to high-mileage fleetrun vehicles. A buyer must pay close attention to the rear axle and suspension geometry. The October 2024 test flagged rear tyres as being worn on the edges on both the nearside and offside, often indicating an misalignment or worn suspension bushes. While the 2025 test did not repeat this fault, a physical inspection should confirm that the wheel alignment is now correct and that the tyres are not experiencing uneven scrubbing. The presence of restrictive undertrays remains the primary concern for a thorough evaluation. Because the tester could not inspect the undercarriage, a buyer should request the guards be removed to check for fluid leaks or structural rust that might be hidden. Given the PHEV nature of the Leon, ensuring the high-voltage cabling remains secure and free from damage beneath the vehicle is also essential.
