2015 SEAT Leon SE Technology TDI 1.6L Heavy oil · CP65 AEO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-13 at 136,247 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current compliance. However, the preceding test on 2026-01-09 at 136,054 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being noted, suggesting potential administrative or procedural inconsistencies. Earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed without issues, but the lack of recorded defects during failures raises questions about the reliability of the MOT outcomes. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, though the absence of detailed fault records limits definitive assessment of underlying mechanical health. The vehicle’s mileage of 136,247 miles at 11 years old equates to approximately 12,386 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. This high accumulation rate may accelerate wear on components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. Notably, the gap between the 2024-10-14 pass (121,357 miles) and the 2026-01-13 pass spans 14,890 miles over 15 months, reflecting rapid usage. The absence of recorded defects in all tests, despite this mileage, suggests either meticulous maintenance or incomplete inspection coverage, particularly in areas like corrosion or drivetrain wear. A buyer should prioritise in-person checks for signs of excessive brake wear, suspension component fatigue, and exhaust system integrity, as these are common failure points in high-mileage vehicles. The lack of recorded issues on suspension or structural components does not eliminate risk, particularly given the vehicle’s age and usage. Inspecting for rust on underbody panels, steering linkage play, and tyre tread depth beyond the MOT’s minimums would provide clarity on long-term maintenance practices. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the high mileage and procedural anomalies warrant cautious evaluation.
