2018 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · FG68 DNU

The vehicle presents a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent test. On 14 August 2025 at 78,632 miles, the SEAT LEON passed with zero defects, indicating all roadworthiness standards were met without requiring remedial work. An earlier test on the same day at 78,625 miles recorded a failure despite listing no defects, which typically points to an administrative issue or an inability to complete the test rather than a mechanical fault. Since that anomaly, the car has maintained a flawless record, suggesting the current owner addresses issues promptly and maintains the vehicle to a high standard. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between 22 September 2022 at 42,441 miles and 20 August 2024 at 64,457 miles, the car covered 22,016 miles over roughly two years, averaging approximately 11,000 miles annually. The subsequent year saw a reduction in pace, with the odometer advancing just 14,175 miles to reach the current 78,632 miles by August 2025. This deceleration might indicate a shift from long-distance commuting to shorter, local journeys, though the overall annual average of roughly 9,829 miles remains entirely unremarkable for the model's age. Given the absence of recurring mechanical advisories or defects, the record implies a diligent previous owner who kept on top of consumable replacements. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection, focusing on components that suffer from age rather than mileage. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and inspect the brake discs and calipers for any signs of binding or uneven wear that might not have manifested during the brief MOT assessment. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody, as standing or short-trip use can accelerate rust formation. Tyre condition and age also warrant close scrutiny, as older rubber can perish even with adequate tread depth.
