2014 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · KP64 VCT

The 2025-10-16 MOT at 89,694 miles passed, though front brake pads were noted as wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)). Since the 2022 failure at the same mileage, each subsequent annual test has recorded only minor, non‑structural defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening condition. The mileage rose from 57,192 miles in October 2021 to 66,234 miles in October 2022, an increase of 9,042 miles in a single year, which exceeds the typical annual increment of around 7,500 miles for a 12‑year‑old vehicle. Earlier intervals show more consistent growth, with the 2020‑2021 rise of 7,309 miles and the 2021‑2022 jump being the most pronounced gap in the record. A buyer should inspect the rear shock absorbers for ongoing oil misting, verify the thickness of the rear brake pads and condition of the discs, and check the front brake pads for the thin wear recorded in 2025. Tyre condition, especially the offside and nearside front tyres that have repeatedly approached the legal limit, warrants close examination, as does the fitment of under‑trays that obscure component visibility and the history of registration lamp failures. Any evidence of structural rust or worn suspension bushes should also be assessed.
