2012 SEAT Leon S Copa CR TDI Ecomotive 1.6L Diesel · JK06 ELT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-11 at 135,958 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior test on 2025-11-22 at 135,760 miles ended in failure, though no specific defects were noted. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative or procedural issues rather than mechanical deterioration. The preceding tests from 2022 to 2024 show consistent passing with no recorded faults, indicating a stable maintenance history over the last four years. The vehicle’s mileage of 135,958 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 9,711 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. Notably, the gap between the 2024-11-29 test (128,764 miles) and 2025-11-22 test (135,760 miles) spans 7,000 miles, reflecting normal wear. The final 200-mile increment to the 2025-12-11 test raises questions about usage patterns, as minimal driving could indicate prolonged inactivity, potentially affecting components like the battery, brakes, or suspension. While the MOT records lack specific mechanical failures, the absence of defects in the 2025-11-22 failure is unusual. A buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, and check for brake disc corrosion or caliper binding. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or panel damage may not appear in MOT data. The vehicle’s maintenance history suggests competent upkeep, but the recent test anomalies warrant cautious evaluation.
