2018 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · DA68 AEE

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 12 September 2025. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the record shows a clean pass without any defects or advisories for the last three testing cycles. This lack of flagged issues suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a consistent state of repair despite its heavy usage. The mileage is high for an eight year old car, averaging over 18,000 miles per year. The accumulation has been particularly rapid recently, with the odometer climbing from 117,686 miles on 18 October 2023 to 145,114 miles by 12 September 2025. This represents nearly 27,500 miles covered in less than two years. Such high-intensity use typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear consumables that the MOT may not flag until they reach a critical failure point. Given the 145,114 mile total, check the condition of the brake discs for lip wear and the suspension coil springs for fatigue. The high mileage suggests the car has likely spent significant time on motorways, so a thorough check for underside corrosion and the state of the exhaust system is advisable. The absence of any recorded advisories over several years is unusual for a high-mileage vehicle. You should verify the service history to ensure that oil changes and timing belt intervals have been adhered to, as the MOT record only confirms basic roadworthiness rather than comprehensive mechanical health.
