2018 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · FL18 EXA

The SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 5 June 2025 at 58,053 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle has cleared every successful test without advisories, and the history shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults. A failed test on 4 October 2023 at 53,261 miles closed the same day with a clean pass and no defects logged, indicating an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a genuine fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,257 miles, typical for an eight-year-old car. The records show a long gap between 29 September 2022 at 43,763 miles and 4 October 2023 at 53,261 miles, then near-stagnant use to 30 August 2024 at 53,372 miles, gaining only 111 miles in ten months. The jump to 58,053 miles by June 2025 suggests the car returned to regular use. Sparse, clean records give little insight into owner care beyond punctual testing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion, as the MOT history omits advisories that often precede failure. The 2023 same-day fail-pass with no defects recorded warrants a check of the DVSA test log to confirm no suppressed fault. Verify the low-use period in 2023 to 2024 did not allow moisture ingress or flat-spotted tyres from standing. Given the clean test lineage and average mileage, the Leon shows no red flags in the official record. Physical checks should target consumables and hidden structural condition that MOT entries do not capture.
