2013 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · G30 MAR

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-15 at 131,281 miles confirmed it met roadworthiness standards with no defects. The prior test in 2025-01-17 at 125,741 miles also passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, a failure in 2024-12-24 at 123,586 miles—despite no recorded defects—suggests potential procedural discrepancies or minor non-compliance. The absence of recurring mechanical issues in subsequent tests implies the car has been well-maintained, though the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny for unresolved concerns. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,099 miles annually. Gaps between tests, such as the 4,273-mile increase between 2022-11-03 (111,245 miles) and 2023-10-30 (115,518 miles), reflect consistent but not excessive usage. The 2024-12-24 test at 123,586 miles showed no defects, yet the failure outcome remains unexplained. The MOT record lacks detailed technical findings, limiting insight into specific component conditions, but the recent passes suggest no critical deterioration. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade with age. Check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the car was driven in harsh conditions. The exhaust system and underbody should be examined for rust, as corrosion can develop in older vehicles. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the 2024 failure and lack of detailed records mean a physical inspection is essential to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
