2013 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · FH13 DTY

The 2013 SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 October 2025 at 92,314 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 9 October 2024 at 80,789 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared consecutive annual examinations without outstanding advisories. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,100 miles per year. The records show 60,940 miles in September 2022, rising to 69,667 by September 2023, then 80,744 at the failed attempt on 8 October 2024, and 80,789 the next day on the pass. A gap of just one day between the failure and pass, with only 45 miles added, indicates the owner corrected a test rejection immediately rather than deferring repairs. No rapid accumulation or unexplained standing periods appear in the data, and the history is sparse but clean apart from that single rejection. The failure on 8 October 2024 at 80,744 miles carries no listed defects, which suggests the tester abandoned or voided the examination rather than the car showing a hard mechanical fault. Without a stated reason, a buyer should verify with the seller what triggered that outcome. Given the absence of advisories across all tests, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory standards, though the lack of flagged wear on tyres, brakes, or suspension bushes means those items received no formal scrutiny. In person, the buyer should still inspect brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 92,314 miles. The clean MOT record does not certify component life, only compliance at test dates. A pre-purchase inspection of suspension arms and exhaust emissions remains sensible on a car of this vintage.
