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

This vehicle presents a stable and unusually clean MOT history, with the most recent pass on 22 July 2025 confirming its current roadworthiness. The record shows a consistent pattern of first-time passes or immediate resolutions, as seen in the one-day gap between the failure and pass in July 2025. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last four years suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has been meticulously kept. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 10,907 miles per year. Significant usage is evident between July 2022 at 90,381 miles and July 2023 at 104,135 miles, where the car covered over 13,000 miles in a single year. A similar trend continued into 2024, with the mileage reaching 118,817 miles by August. This steady accumulation indicates the car has been used regularly rather than sitting idle, which generally helps maintain engine health and prevents seals from perishing. Despite the clean DVSA record, a buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of high-wear components typical for a SEAT Leon of this era and mileage. Focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade around the 130,000-mile mark without necessarily triggering an immediate MOT failure. Check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis and sills, and verify the condition of the brake discs and pads to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. The lack of historical faults regarding exhaust emissions or structural integrity is a positive indicator. However, given the mileage, a manual check of the drivetrain and clutch operation is advised to ensure no mechanical slip or wear has developed since the last test. The overall data suggests a well-maintained example with no recurring mechanical trends to cause concern.
