Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of 143,035 miles, you should prioritise checking the service history for evidence of regular oil changes, which is critical for the 1598cc diesel engine. Negotiate on the price, specifically noting the recurring advisories for shock absorbers and the previous issues with brake calipers and discs.
Ask the seller for proof that the 'light misting' on the offside front shock absorber noted in 2024 and 2025 has been addressed or if it is still present. You should also verify if the brake hose corrosion and coil spring issues noted in 2024 were repaired with new parts rather than just being monitored.
The 1.6L diesel engine is generally designed for efficiency, though actual fuel economy will depend on the maintenance of the fuel system and turbocharger at this high mileage. As a 2014 diesel, buyers should be mindful of potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges depending on their location.
Insurance groups for the SEAT Leon vary, but this engine size typically sits in a mid-range group. Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the age and mileage, with parts like shock absorbers, brake discs, and tyres being frequent items in the MOT history for this specific vehicle.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The MOT history specifically highlights 'light misting of oil' on the offside front shock absorber in both 2024 and 2025; check if this has progressed to a leak. Inspect the front brake discs and calipers, as the 2024 MOT recorded pitting on the discs and slow-returning calipers.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and registration plates. While the 2023 failure for tyre cuts was resolved, and the 2025 advisory for deteriorated plates is minor, these are indicators of general wear. Check the underside for any signs of the brake hose corrosion mentioned in the 2024 record.
This 2014 SEAT Leon 1.6 diesel has covered 143,035 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 8,134 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear-related issues, including repeated advisories for shock absorber oil misting and previous failures related to tyres and lighting. The vehicle has transitioned from a failure in 2023 to a pass in 2025, but the cumulative record suggests a car that has been driven heavily.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 82.5% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, brake discs, and coil springs.
