2019 SEAT Leon 2.0L Petrol · CT68 MHU

This SEAT León has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests since 2022, including the most recent inspection on 28 July 2025—just under a year ago. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent, if not rigorous, servicing, though the lack of recorded defects does not preclude hidden wear. The most recent test confirms the car remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the 12-month gap since the last MOT means some components—particularly suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyre tread—will have accumulated further wear. No recurring issues are evident in the record, but the absence of advisory notes also implies no proactive maintenance was logged, leaving critical components like coil springs and binding calipers unaddressed unless visibly inspected. The mileage progression of roughly 8,300 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the jump from 32,628 miles in January 2023 to 45,714 miles by January 2024—a 13,086-mile increase—suggests a period of heavier use. The intervals between tests remain consistent at one year, with no extended gaps that might indicate neglect, though the final 12-month span since July 2025 could now exceed the legal limit if the car has not been tested since. The lack of intermediate servicing records means no insight into whether intervals were strictly adhered to, but the steady mileage suggests the vehicle was driven regularly rather than left unused. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items not always flagged in a basic MOT. The brakes, while not failed, should be checked for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Tyre tread depth remains critical—failing twice on this criterion in past tests would have been a red flag, but its absence here means no recent issues, though a thorough check of all four tyres is essential. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be examined, as the car’s age increases the risk of hidden deterioration. The absence of advisories in the MOT history does not guarantee these areas are sound, so visual and functional checks are mandatory.
