2014 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · LN14 LCV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in the February 2026 test at 105,732 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the immediate failure on that same day due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative maintenance. The absence of defects in the most recent post-test suggests that the owner is responding to safety-critical faults once they are identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation of use, with a 14,111-mile gap between February 2024 and 2025, and another 8,705 miles covered covered between February 2025 and February 2026. This regularity suggests the car is used consistently, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and braking components to prevent the corrosion or seizing that often affects vehicles with long periods of standing. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly, as the snapped coil spring in 2026 suggests these components may be reaching the end of their functional life. The 2023 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn on the edge points to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature tyre wear. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a close look at the subframe for structural corrosion is necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains sound, as the DVSA record does not yet flag any areas of concern.
