2018 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · CU18 OVV

The 2018 SEAT Leon presents a clean roadworthiness record with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 236,325 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of passes with no advisories or failures noted. This indicates the vehicle has met statutory standards consistently across its recorded history. Annual mileage sits high for an eight-year-old car. The records show 76,248 miles at the 5 October 2021 test, rising to 124,781 by 4 October 2022, then 164,645 on 29 September 2023, 209,714 on 2 October 2024, and 236,325 on 2 October 2025. That equates to roughly 29,500 miles per year, with the heaviest jump of over 48,000 miles between 2021 and 2022 suggesting sustained motorway or business use rather than short urban cycles. No gaps exist between tests; the owner kept the certificate current each October. The absence of recorded advisories means the DVSA tester flagged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structural members, binding calipers, or failing emissions at any stage. A clean sheet across 236,325 miles is unusual at this distance and implies the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test. Still, high annual mileage accelerates stealth wear not always visible in a pass result. A buyer should physically inspect brake disc thickness and hub bearing play given the distances covered, and check underneath for early subframe corrosion or degraded coil springs that a pass does not preclude. Verify service history matches the mileage, as no MOT advisory covers internal drivetrain condition. The recent October 2025 pass means the car entered 2026 compliant, but nine months have since elapsed with no further data.
