2009 SEAT Leon 1.9L Diesel · DG59 WLD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of inconsistent maintenance. The most recent test conducted on 30 July 2025 at 137,773 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. While the history shows instances of previous failure, the ability to pass subsequent tests without advisories suggests that the owner has proactively identified and rectified issues rather than letting them persist. At a recorded mileage of 137,773 miles over 17 years, the car averages approximately 8,100 miles per annum. This aligns closely with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. There is a notable increase in usage between July 2023 and July 2024, where the car covered over 20,000 miles in a single year. This period of high mileage was followed by a more moderate pace, with roughly 22,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. The consistent use suggests regular operation which generally prevents seizing of the drivetrain or suspension components due to neglect. The failures recorded in 2023 and 2024 occurred immediately prior to passing, indicating that specific faults were present but then corrected. Since the two most recent tests showed no advisories at all, a buyer should still perform a thorough physical inspection of structural integrity, particularly the sills and wheel arches where these SEAT models are prone to corrosion. Given the age, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is essential, as these components often degrade through age regardless of mileage. The buyer should also verify the brake discs for deep pitting or binding calipers to ensure the clean MOT record reflects the current mechanical state of the vehicle.
