2013 SEAT Leon SE TDI 1.6L Diesel · DG63 DFV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 160,961 miles showed no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. Following a single failure in late April 2022, the vehicle has maintained a clean record through three consecutive inspections, suggesting that the current owner addresses mechanical issues as they arise. The mileage data reflects high-frequency usage typical of a thirteen-year-old diesel, averaging approximately 12,400 miles per annum. There is a significant accumulation of over 22,000 miles between May 2022 and June 2023, followed by another 20,000 miles between June 2023 and July 2024. This steady high-mile pattern suggests regular motorway use, which often places less on the clutch and gearbox compared to short-city trips but accelerates the wear on the drivetrain, turbo, and suspension components. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components prone to high-mileage wear. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade after 150,000 miles. Given the age and distance, inspecting the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding is also essential. While the MOT record does not flag structural corrosion, a visual check of the chassis underside is required to ensure the structural integrity of the vehicle remains sound despite the heavy road exposure.
