2012 SEAT Leon 1.2L Petrol · GJ56 SOL

The 2012 SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy following a pass on 16 January 2026 at 118,246 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. Two failed tests appear in the record, yet both the 12 January 2026 and 13 December 2023 failures show no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than latent mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,446 miles, typical for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 92,725 miles on 14 December 2023, rising to 105,558 by 17 December 2024 and 118,246 by January 2026. That equates to about 12,800 miles covered in 2024 and a further 12,700 in the following year, a moderate uplift over the long-term average but no cause for concern on a petrol or diesel hatch of this era. The clean pass sheet at every stage suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables within tolerance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent advisories. The DVSA dataset offers no insight into suspension bushes, coil spring condition, brake disc wear, or underbody corrosion, all of which degrade silently on a 118k-mile SEAT of this generation. The twin failure-with-no-defect entries warrant a check of the V5C and test station notes to confirm the car was not presented with unresolved identifiers. Given the sparse but clean record, focus the viewing on structural integrity at sills and subframes, plus a road test to sense any binding calipers or drivetrain backlash. The history implies competent routine upkeep, though it does not substitute for hands-on verification of wear items the MOT simply never captured.
