2019 SEAT Leon 1.5L Petrol · DA68 LWS

The SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 15 November 2025 at 73,352 miles recording no defects. The prior day's failure on 14 November 2025 at identical mileage is anomalous; with no defects listed, the refusal likely stemmed from an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the owner rectified it within twenty-four hours. Across the available history the vehicle cleared every test without advisories. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2019 hatchback, rising from 49,124 miles at the 27 January 2022 test to 57,480 by 14 January 2023, then 67,015 on 17 September 2024, and 73,352 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles annually, with a slight slowdown in the final year. A fourteen-month gap separates the 2023 and 2024 tests, but the clean records suggest consistent if not frequent use rather than prolonged standing. The absence of any recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion means no recurring mechanical faults emerge from the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for rust, given MOT cleanliness does not capture incipient wear. The same-day fail-pass sequence warrants confirmation that no hidden brake binding or emissions anomaly triggered the initial refusal. Given the sparse but clean record, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic upkeep without neglect of consumables or major components. The 2025 anomaly aside, the Leon shows no worsening pattern and remains a sound used purchase subject to standard pre-sale checks.
