MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Seat Leon (LJ53 YUX) between September 2006 and October 2016.

The record contains 11 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 03 October 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear passenger door cannot be opened from outside the vehicle (6.2.B.1c)”; “Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”; “Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively both (8.2.2)”.
