2011 SEAT Leon CR Sport TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · CXZ 8369

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-04-18 at 236,389 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the pattern of repeated failures in March 2024 (235,766 miles) and November 2021 (205,493 miles) without recorded defects suggests inconsistent compliance, potentially reflecting minor issues resolved between tests. The absence of structural or mechanical failures in the latest test implies stability, but the frequency of failures raises concerns about maintenance consistency. The vehicle’s mileage of 236,389 miles at 15 years old equates to an average of 15,759 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 1.5-year interval between the 2021 and 2023 tests, during which mileage increased by 15,788 miles, and a rapid 15,623-mile jump in just 38 days between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This suggests periods of heavy usage or inconsistent MOT scheduling, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which may not surface in MOTs. The exhaust system and corrosion in body panels should also be scrutinized, as high mileage often correlates with increased rust risk. While the MOT record lacks specific defects, the vehicle’s usage pattern and repeated failures warrant a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm mechanical integrity.
