AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The SEAT Leon shows a current roadworthy status with a pass recorded on 22 July 2025 at 115,498 miles, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history. The DVSA record contains no advisories or defects at any test, with passes logged on 24 July 2023 at 71,970 miles, 25 July 2024 at 93,659 miles, and the most recent 22 July 2025 test. Two failure entries on the same dates as the passes, both at zero recorded defects, point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The odometer sat at 71,970 miles in July 2023 and climbed to 93,659 miles by July 2024, then reached 115,498 miles by July 2025. That equates to roughly 21,689 miles in the first interval and 21,839 in the second, well above the 14,437 annual average for the car's age and confirming sustained high-use motoring. No gaps exist between tests; the owner kept the annual MOT cycle unbroken, which suggests disciplined statutory compliance even if the mileage load remains heavy. A clean MOT sheet with no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or exhaust emission flags across 115,498 miles is unusual for a high-mileage hatchback and implies the previous keeper addressed wear before each test. The buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the front coil springs, rear suspension arms, and brake calipers, as these components often degrade silently between tests. Verify the duplicate fail/pass logs with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect data sits behind the zero-advisory entries. Given the 22 July 2025 pass is just under twelve months old, the next test falls due by 22 July 2026. Budget for consumables ahead of that date: at this mileage, tyres, wiper blades, and possibly a timing belt interval will dominate running costs rather than structural risk.
