2021 SEAT Leon Xcellence Phev S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · BV71 EKG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history indicates a lapse in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its test on 1 September 2025 at 51,057 miles, it initially failed that same day due to multiple defects related to lighting and tyres. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a failure in 2025 suggests that the owner only addressed repairs when prompted by the inspection failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a hybrid vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. Between the August 2024 test at 36,967 miles and the September 2025 test at 51,057 miles, the vehicle covered 14,090 miles. This interval shows the car is used regularly, which helps prevent internal corrosion, though the 14,000-mile stretch confirms that consumables are not being monitored closely between the annual test intervals. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment specifically. The September 2025 failure noted the offside front tyre was worn on the edge, which is a classic symptom of incorrect camber or worn suspension bushes rather than simple road wear. Given that the offside rear tyre also fell below the legal 1.6mm limit during the same visit, the owner clearly neglected basic tyre depth checks. The inspection should also verify that the headlamp aim is now correct, as both units were flagged for being too low prior to the pass.
