2014 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · FH14 ECV

The 2014 SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 142,470 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from January 2023 through January 2025 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 9 January 2023 at 112,590 miles, reversed the next day on 10 January 2023 with a pass and no defects logged, which suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive fault. Mileage has accumulated in a steady, age-typical pattern across the record. The car covered roughly 10,000 miles between each January test from 2023 to 2026, rising from 112,590 to 142,470 miles, equating to about 11,800 miles per year since registration. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data, and the clean advisory-free history across four consecutive years indicates the previous keeper kept the vehicle to a consistent servicing and presentation standard. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the car is now twelve years old and past 142,000 miles. The MOT record shows no corrosion, exhaust emission failures, or structural integrity concerns, but annual passes with zero advisories do not confirm component remaining life once a test lapses. Given the lack of recorded faults, focus the viewing on tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody rust at chassis mounting points. The rapid turnaround from fail to pass in January 2023 warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason if the buyer wants certainty, though no defects were carried into the pass.
