Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus your attention on the service history to confirm if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for diesel engines of this age. While the MOT history is clean, check for evidence of any suspension work to address the shock absorber misting mentioned in previous records. Use the age of the tyres and brake pads as a potential negotiation point, as these are common wear items for this model.
The 1.6 diesel engine is geared toward efficiency, providing competitive fuel economy for both urban and motorway driving. Insurance and road tax will be aligned with its 2014 registration and engine capacity, typically placing it in a moderate bracket for a small family car. Maintenance costs are generally standard for the group, though diesel-specific components like the DPF should be monitored if the car is used for very short trips.
Inspect the shock absorbers, specifically the nearside front, as oil misting was flagged as an advisory in both 2021 and 2023. Check the condition of the headlamps, tyres, and brake pads, as aggregate data shows these are the most frequent causes of MOT failure for the SEAT Leon. Finally, ensure all rear seatbelts are fully operational and retract correctly.
This blue 2014 SEAT Leon 1.6 Diesel has covered 69,812 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. Its MOT record from 2021 to 2025 shows five consecutive passes. Only minor advisories regarding shock absorber oil misting were noted in 2021 and 2023, with the two most recent tests showing no defects at all.
The SEAT Leon maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 82.5% based on an analysis of 195,953 vehicles.
