AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2013 SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 January 2026 at 128,586 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four available MOT entries show no failures or advisories across the lifespan captured in this record. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a thirteen-year-old car. The tester logged 95,588 miles on 21 May 2022, then 108,513 on 11 June 2023, 119,495 on 21 October 2024, and 128,586 on 9 January 2026. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 11,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The sparse but clean history offers little evidence of neglect, though the absence of advisory notes means wear items were either within limits or replaced before each test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the mileage now exceeds 128,000. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural concerns, yet DVSA tests do not strip components. Check for weeping dampers, tired anti-roll bar links, and exhaust integrity at the clamp joints. Previous owners clearly kept the Leon to a pass-standard regime with no recorded faults. Treat the clean sheet as a baseline rather than a guarantee, and verify service history to confirm timing belts and fluid changes were done alongside the MOT passes.
