2011 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · DA61 KCY

The SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 April 2025 at 110,250 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 5 April 2024 at 102,176 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a failure on 25 March 2024 at the same 102,176 miles, where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or unrecorded correction rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or emissions appear across the five-year span. Mileage sits at a typical 7,350 per year for a 2011 car. The record shows 90,272 miles on 8 October 2021, rising to 96,491 by 24 October 2022, then 102,176 by April 2024, and 110,250 by April 2025. A gap exists between the October 2022 and March 2024 entries, with the March failure and April pass both at 102,176 miles suggesting the car was idle or barely used across that winter. The clean sheets at every pass point to an owner who kept consumables and structural items within limits. The absence of flagged wear means no recurring mechanical trend is evident. A buyer should still verify in person the condition of coil springs, track-rod ends, and exhaust hangers given the car's fifteen years, as MOT clean sheets do not certify component life remaining. Check underneath for structural rust at sills and subframes, and confirm brake calipers are free and pads match disc wear. Given the sparse but clean history, the Leon shows no warning signs of deferred upkeep. The 2024 failure with zero defects recorded warrants a glance at the VOSA refusal reason to rule out a documentation slip. Otherwise the vehicle's test trail supports a sound used purchase at 110,250 miles.
