2018 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · BW67 NDZ

A consistent record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent history, with the most recent test on 05 October 2025 showing no defects. Following an advisory regarding tyre condition in February 2021, the subsequent four annual inspections have concluded without any recorded failures or further advisories. This pattern indicates a period of stable roadworthiness where no mechanical or structural issues have been flagged by the DVSA in the last four years. The mileage profile shows an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,171 miles, which is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. This relatively moderate mileage suggests that the mechanical components, such as the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, have not been subjected to the high-frequency wear associated with heavy long-distance commuting. However, the moderate usage rate means that while major mechanical wear may be lower, the vehicle has still been in regular operation, which is reflected in the steady progression of mileage through the testing cycle. Based on the specific advisory recorded in February 2021, a buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres. Although no further issues were noted in the 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025 tests, the previous mention of cracking or perishing suggests that the rubber may be subject to age-related degradation. During a test drive, it is advisable to inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for any signs of fine cracking or bulges and to listen for any increased road noise that could indicate uneven tread wear or structural compromise in the tyre carcasses. Beyond the tyre advisory, the lack of recorded defects in recent years means there are no specific mechanical faults to investigate from the MOT history. A prospective buyer should focus on general component integrity, checking for any unusual knocks or knocks from the suspension linkages or coil springs when navigating uneven surfaces, and ensuring there is no pedal judder or pulling under braking. Since no oil misting or exhaust emissions issues were flagged in the latest 2025 inspection, the engine and exhaust systems appear to have met the required standards during the most recent assessments.
