2014 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · DA14 FSJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 22 May 2026 at 89,938 miles, which recorded no defects. This follows a period of minor mechanical advisories that appear to have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, moving from a history of recurring suspension and tyre issues toward a clean certificate in the most recent inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 49,399 in December 2022 to 89,938 in May 2026. This gradual progression suggests the car has been used for regular, predictable journeys rather than sitting idle for long periods or being subjected to heavy commercial use. The MOT history highlights a long-term pattern of shock absorber oil misting. The tester flagged light misting on both front and rear units across multiple tests between December 2021 and May 2025. While the May 2026 test showed no defects, a buyer should inspect the suspension components for any signs of renewed leaking or dampness. The May 2025 advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge suggests potential alignment issues or uneven tyre wear that should be verified. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension system and tyre condition. Although the recent pass indicates the vehicle met all legal requirements, the recurring nature of the shock absorber advisories warrants a close look at the dampers and mounting points. Checking the tread depth and evenness of all four tyres will also confirm if the previous issues with edge wear and legal limits have been fully resolved through recent maintenance.
