2002 SEAT Leon 1.8L Petrol · FG52 RVM

The 2002 SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 March 2026 at 179,277 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual examinations in March 2025, March 2024, and October 2022 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failure on 2 March 2024 at 171,368 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop. Across the documented span the vehicle has shown no recurring advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Mileage sits at 179,277 against a 24-year life, an average of roughly 7,470 miles per year and typical for the age. The odometer moved from 164,740 in October 2022 to 171,368 by March 2024, then 171,396 later that month, 175,346 in March 2025, and 179,277 in March 2026. The gap between the October 2022 and March 2024 tests leaves roughly seventeen months unaccounted, but annual increments since have been steady at about 4,000 miles. The record is sparse and clean, with no consumable wear items like tyres or wiper blades ever flagged. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 179k mileage, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm absence of developing rust on sills or subframes. The clean advisory history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the unexplained March 2024 failure warrants a check of the test station's reason to rule out a suppressed mechanical fault. Suspension and braking components should be physically assessed for worn bushes or binding calipers not captured by the automated record.
