2018 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · DC18 RZZ

The 2018 SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 July 2025 at 49,966 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive annual passes with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across its five-year MOT history. Annual mileage averages 6,246 miles against an eight-year lifespan, placing use within typical bounds for the model age. The records trace steady accumulation: 20,999 miles on 21 August 2021, 27,542 on 26 July 2022, 34,382 on 14 July 2023, 41,350 on 11 July 2024, and 49,966 on 11 July 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean sheet across every entry suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided even minor consumable wear flags such as tyres or wipers reaching advisory limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low annual use combined with the car's age can conceal intermittent issues not caught in a single annual test, particularly suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers that may corrode or stiffen through standing periods. The DVSA data shows no structural integrity concerns or exhaust emissions failures, yet pre-purchase checks on underbody corrosion and brake disc condition remain sensible given the vehicle's seven-year standing before the latest test. The absence of recurring advisories means no specific fault trend requires monitoring. The consistent pass pattern implies disciplined servicing rather than deferred upkeep. Verify service history matches the recorded mileages and confirm no private-sale discrepancies exist before purchase.
