Our Verdict
Exercise caution due to very high mileag
Given the high mileage, the priority should be verifying the service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical for this engine. You should negotiate the purchase price to account for the remaining advisories on the rear brake discs and the general wear associated with nearly 180,000 miles. Ensure the steering feels tight and responsive, as the steering rack inner joints were a primary cause of the most recent failure.
The 1968cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, but maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this model due to the vehicle's age and mileage. Expect more frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items such as brake discs and suspension components, as evidenced by the MOT history. Insurance and road tax will be based on 2014 diesel brackets, which may be higher than more modern equivalents.
Pay close attention to the braking system; the MOT history shows a pattern of pitted discs and binding brakes dating back to 2024. Check the rear discs specifically, as they were listed as an advisory in the June 2026 test. Inspect the steering for any play or unusual noises, following the recent failure and subsequent repair of the steering rack inner joints. Finally, check the condition of all tyres, as the vehicle has a history of failures for both low tread and sidewall cuts.
This grey 2014 SEAT Leon 2.0 diesel has covered 178,342 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history reveals repeated issues with brake discs and binding brakes, as well as recent failures related to the steering rack and tyre condition. It passed its most recent test in June 2026, but remains with advisories regarding the steering and brakes.
The SEAT Leon has an average MOT pass rate of 82.5%, with common failure points typically being headlamps, tyres, and brake pads.
