2005 SEAT Leon 1.9L Diesel · FE55 GEJ

The SEAT Leon passed its most recent MOT on 26 November 2025 at 166,209 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy at the time of test. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a failed test on the same date with no defects logged, repeated identically on 15 October 2024 before a pass on 16 October 2024 at 157,356 miles. Such paired fail-pass entries with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentational anomalies at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration. Mileage sat at 137,543 miles in the September 2023 test, rose to 157,356 by October 2024, and reached 166,209 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 19,800 miles over two years, or about 9,900 per year, marginally above the 7,915 annual average for a 21-year-old car. The data is sparse, with only three test windows present, and all show clean sheets aside from the unexplained fails. No rapid accumulation or long standing gaps emerge from the figures. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and corrosion points in person, as a 2005 vehicle at 166,209 miles commonly develops rust on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting areas not always caught in a pass. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear consistent with the mileage. The absence of advisories across the record means previous owners likely addressed consumables before each test, but the twin fail-pass sequences warrant confirmation that no outstanding mechanical flags were suppressed at the garage.
