2014 SEAT Leon 1.2L Petrol · NG14 XBR

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent test on January 26 2026 at 116,921 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a period of concern in early 2024. While the 2024 failure highlighted multiple mechanical-related issues, the subsequent passes indicate that the owner addressed the necessary repairs to bring the car back to a minimum legal standard. The recorded mileage of 116,921 miles over twelve years equates to a consistent average usage of approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The data shows a notable spike in usage between January 2023 and January 2024, where the car covered 12,450 miles in a single year. Since then, the usage has slowed to roughly 6,900 miles per year over the last two tests. This pattern is typical for a family hatchback and suggests the mechanical components have been subjected to standard wear and tear consistent with its age. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension geometry during a physical inspection. The January 2024 failure revealed fractured coil springs and a misting shock absorber, while the January 2025 advisory noted play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. Although these were not flagged in the latest test, the recurring nature of suspension-related faults suggests the rubber bushings and joints are reaching the end of their service life. Additionally, the history of pitted and scored rear brake discs in early 2024 warrants a visual check to ensure the components were actually replaced or if they continue to degrade prematurely.
