2014 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · DA14 MXB

The SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 November 2025 at 53,162 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The November 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass on the same day at 51,522 miles with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or presentational anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 53,162 against a 2014 build, an average of roughly 4,430 miles per year. The test history shows gentle annual accumulation: 46,624 miles in November 2022, 49,650 in October 2023, 51,522 in November 2024, and 53,162 in November 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The low, steady use suggests light running, though prolonged standing between short trips can age tyres, seals, and brake components without showing in odometer figures. The clean MOT record gives no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the five years. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as the DVSA test captures only visible fail-level defects. Check brake calipers for binding after standing, and verify tyre sidewall condition given the low mileage and likely age of the original rubbers. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to test standard with no skipped years. The same-day fail and pass in 2024 points to a paperwork correction, not deferred maintenance. On this evidence the Leon reflects conscientious ownership, but an independent pre-purchase inspection remains prudent given its twelve years.
