2017 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · DF17 AAJ

The 2017 SEAT Leon stands as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trajectory, confirmed by the latest DVSA test on 14 August 2025 at 78,762 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Earlier examinations from 2022 through 2024 show an unbroken sequence of passes aside from a same-day failure and retest on 27 August 2024. The tester failed the car at 71,199 miles yet logged no defects, then issued a pass at 71,200 miles hours later, implying immediate administrative or minor rectification. No recurring suspension, brake, or structural faults emerge across the timeline. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old hatchback. The record opens at 60,694 miles on 23 August 2022 and climbs to 64,969 miles by 23 August 2023, a modest 4,275-mile year. The interval to 27 August 2024 shows 71,200 miles, a 6,231-mile addition. By the August 2025 test the odometer reads 78,762 miles after a 7,562-mile spell. This steady linear accrual reflects gentle commuting rather than harsh high-speed workload. The history stays sparse and clean, with the brief fail-pass anomaly the only irregularity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of components the MOT does not routinely flag as defects. At 78,762 miles the Leon's suspension bushes and coil springs may exhibit age-related fatigue not yet breaching test limits. Brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for wear and binding, since intermittent drag escapes annual scrutiny. Structural integrity underneath requires checking for corrosion around sills and mounting points, especially after UK winter road salt cycles. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from normal wear on consumables like tyres and wiper blades, which the owner likely replaced proactively.
