2007 SEAT Leon 1.6L Petrol · KL57 YMU

The SEAT Leon currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 115,235 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, an administrative anomaly that leaves the car legally unroadworthy until cleared. Prior to that, the maintenance trend appeared stable, with passes recorded at the 23 November 2024 test (102,355 miles) and the 30 November 2023 test (92,205 miles), both showing no advisories or defects. The recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a 2007 vehicle, averaging roughly 6,065 miles per year across its life. The odometer moved from 82,159 miles at the 9 December 2022 test to 92,203 miles on 30 November 2023, then to 102,355 miles by 23 November 2024, and reached 115,235 miles by the December 2025 failure. This reflects steady, moderate annual use with no sudden accumulation or prolonged standing evident in the gaps between tests. The DVSA record shows no flagged mechanical or structural concerns across any presented entry. The 30 November 2023 test logged a failure at 92,203 miles with no defects noted, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 92,205 miles, suggesting a clerical or process error rather than a genuine fault. The 2025 failure with zero recorded defects points to the same administrative pattern rather than worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean advisory history. Nineteen years of age invites unseen corrosion to subframes, sills, and suspension mounts that MOT entries here did not capture. Verify the 2025 failure cause with DVSA, confirm brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions in person, and check tyre condition and fluid leaks before purchase.
