2014 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · FD14 PCO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of inconsistency. The most recent MOT test conducted in January 2026 at 82,163 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While the history shows a failure in early 2025, the immediate retest on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in addressing the identified faults rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 46,479 miles in January 2023 to 82,163 miles in January 2026. The specific interval of 15,438 miles covered between the January 2024 and 2025 tests indicates regular use, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components as it prevents the seizing of seals and the degradation of rubber components often associated with long periods of inactivity. Given the clean results of the two most recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related wear items rather than recurring mechanical failures. At 82,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs are nearing a point where fatigue often manifests as knocks-related knocks or uneven tyre wear. The record does not highlight previous structural corrosion, but a physical check of the sills and underside brake lines is necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last inspection.
