2015 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · FL52 NNN

The 2015 SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 132,145 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Three consecutive annual passes from August 2023 through August 2025 show no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers, indicating the vehicle has been kept to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements across its major wear components. Annual mileage sits at roughly 12,000 miles, high for an eleven-year-old car but consistent rather than erratic. The record shows 109,209 miles on 16 March 2022, then 116,415 miles by 30 August 2023, 121,731 miles by 26 August 2024, and 132,145 miles by 27 August 2025. The gap between the March 2022 and August 2023 entries spans seventeen months yet only 7,206 miles, suggesting a period of lighter use or partial standing before the owner resumed a regular commuting pattern. The MOT data itself is sparse, with clean sheets throughout and no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns logged. One anomaly warrants scrutiny: the failure on 24 August 2023 at 116,415 miles, followed by a pass on 30 August 2023 at the identical mileage with no defects recorded. This points to a rectification between tests rather than a carried fault, though the absence of listed defects on the failure certificate is unusual and may reflect a documentation or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should obtain the full failure reasons from DVSA to clarify this before purchase. Given the clean advisory history, in-person checks should still target typical high-mileage wear on this platform: front suspension lower arm bushes, rear coil springs, brake disc lip and caliper operation, and underbody structural integrity for corrosion around sills and subframes. The high annual use means consumables like tyres and wiper blades will need routine replacement, but the record gives no evidence of skipped upkeep on safety-critical items.
