2010 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · DA60 CNO

The SEAT Leon presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 26 November 2025 at 95,698 miles with no defects recorded. Prior tests in 2024 and 2023 also returned passes with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has cleared inspection without outstanding mechanical concerns across its recent history. The record shows two paired fail-and-pass entries on the same dates in November 2024 (94,924 miles) and November 2023 (82,993 and 82,994 miles), yet no defects were logged against either failure, suggesting administrative re-tests rather than rectified faults. At roughly 16 years old, the Leon shows 95,698 recorded miles, an average of about 5,981 miles per year, which is low for its age. The odometer moved from 82,994 miles at the November 2023 test to 94,924 miles by November 2024, a 11,930-mile jump in one year, then only 774 miles to the November 2025 test. This pattern implies the car stood largely unused in the final year. Low overall mileage paired with a quiet 2024 to 2025 period often means prolonged storage, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or seizing after the long static period. The DVSA record flags no structural integrity issues, exhaust emissions failures, or advisory corrosion, so the chassis appears sound on paper. Given the same-day fail and pass anomalies with zero defects noted, verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm no omitted data. Pre-purchase checks should cover tyre sidewall condition, brake disc surface rust from standing, and a cold-start assessment of the drivetrain. The clean advisory history offers reassurance, but low-use SEAT Leons of this era are prone to undertray corrosion and worn drop links not always caught in a pass. Independent verification remains sensible before funds transfer.
