2007 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · D2 RBF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-20 at 138,834 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-09-16 (133,262 miles) and 2023-08-22 (128,459 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2024-09-13 (133,261 miles) occurred without recorded defects. This suggests the car has been maintained to meet legal standards, with no recurring mechanical failures evident in the last three years. The absence of structural or safety-critical issues in the latest test implies the vehicle remains roadworthy, though the failed 2024 test may indicate minor unresolved concerns. The mileage progression shows consistent annual usage of approximately 7,300 miles, aligning with typical patterns for a 19-year-old vehicle. The MOT records are spaced roughly 12 months apart, with no significant gaps or sudden mileage spikes. The 2024-09-13 failure occurred just days before a subsequent pass, raising questions about the cause but offering no definitive evidence of systemic issues. The lack of defects in the last two tests suggests the owner addressed any problems promptly, though the sparse data limits insight into long-term wear trends. A buyer should inspect the suspension, particularly rear coil springs and bushes, which may show age-related wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in older cars. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion are also critical, as they are not routinely tested but can degrade over time. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, the 2024 failure and lack of detailed defect reports warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
