2014 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · FP14 XBD

The 2014 SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 November 2025 at 116,493 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure that listed no defects, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in November 2024 at 110,256 miles, November 2023 at 82,026 miles, and November 2022 at 69,982 miles all passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or worsening conditions across the five-year record. Annual mileage averages 9,708 against the 12-year age, a typical use profile. The record reveals a sharp accumulation between November 2023 and November 2024, where the odometer climbed 28,230 miles in thirteen months, then dropped to 6,237 miles over the following year. Such a pattern suggests a period of heavy commuting or high motorway use, then reduced activity. The DVSA data is sparse, listing no advisories on any test, which limits insight into wear on consumables and structural items. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the 116,493 miles and the 2023 to 2024 high-use phase. The clean MOT history implies previous owners addressed issues pre-test rather than letting them reach advisory status, but absence of recorded corrosion or exhaust emissions faults does not confirm structural integrity beneath sills and subframes. Verify the November 2025 failure-with-no-defects entry with DVLA to rule out a clerical error. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and underbody rust at point of sale, as these wear items fall outside MOT pass criteria until critical.
