2014 SEAT Leon SE Technology TDI 1.6L Diesel · DF14 MDU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a successful MOT test on December 27, 2025 at 126,596 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record reveals a consistent pattern of requiring immediate repairs to secure a pass. The car failed in both August 2024 and December 2025 shortly before passing, suggesting that minor mechanical defects or consumable items are addressed only when they fail an inspection rather than during preventative servicing. At 126,596 miles over twelve years, this SEAT Leon averages approximately 10,550 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a diesel-powered hatchback. There is a significant gap in the data between the January 2022 test at 103,909 miles and the August 2024 test at 122,075 miles, covering nearly 18,000 miles in twenty-three months. Since then, the mileage accumulation has accelerated, with over 4,500 miles recorded between the August 2024 and December 2025 tests. Because the MOT history shows no recorded advisories or defects across all five tests, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of components prone to wear at this mileage. You should check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of per or cracking, as these often degrade without being flagged until they cause failure. Given the high mileage, a close look at the brake discs for thinning and the underside for emerging structural corrosion is essential to ensure the clean MOT record reflects actual mechanical health rather than just a lack of rigorous testing.
