2014 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · FP14 SYH

The SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 92,166 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in January 2025 at 84,018 miles, January 2024 at 75,400 miles, and February 2023 at 67,195 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing no worsening pattern across the recorded period. Annual mileage averages around 7,680 miles, consistent with typical use for a 2014 vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 7,823 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, 8,382 miles to 2025, and 8,148 miles to the 2026 pass. No gaps or sudden spikes appear in the data. The DVSA history is sparse on faults, with five consecutive clean outcomes and no flagged consumable wear, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion, which suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Clean MOT sheets do not certify component condition, only that items met minimum standards on test day. Focus on suspension arms, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's twelve years and salt-exposed UK winters. Examine brake calipers for binding and measure disc wear, as these degrade between tests without triggering advisories. Check the 30 January 2026 failure entry with the selling garage to confirm it was a paperwork issue and not a concealed defect. Verify service history matches the 92,166-mile odometer. Tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels warrant a visual check despite no advisories raised.
