2011 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · BW11 OPP

The SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 2025-07-08 at 119,990 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. The owner corrected a failed test from the prior day by securing a clean pass, indicating the vehicle met standards once processed. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2011 car, averaging roughly 8,000 miles per year. The record moves from 95,769 miles at the July 2023 failure to 95,930 miles on the pass five days later, then 103,534 miles in July 2024 and 119,990 miles by July 2025. That reflects about 16,000 miles added in the final year, a moderate rise over prior periods yet still within normal use. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories logged on any pass and only same-day retests after two unexplained failures. The two failures on 2023-07-06 and 2025-07-07 list no defects, which suggests administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than worn components. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity, suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions in person given the car is fifteen years old. Verify the underside for corrosion and check coil springs and calipers for binding, as these items escape the clean MOT record but degrade with age. Given the lack of flagged faults, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic compliance, though the twin no-defect failures warrant a question to the seller on cause. Prioritise a pre-purchase inspection of consumables such as tyres and wiper blades alongside the mechanical checks above before committing to purchase.
