2007 SEAT Leon 1.6L Petrol · PJ57 AEN

The SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 19 March 2026 at 124,072 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 5 March 2025 test at 119,092 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating fault pattern across its later life. The recorded mileage of 124,072 over approximately nineteen years equates to a modest average of around 6,530 miles per year, suggesting light to average use for a 2007 hatchback. The gap between the 6 March 2024 pass at 115,495 miles and the 5 March 2025 pass at 119,092 miles reflects only about 3,600 miles covered in that year. Two failed tests appear on 28 February 2025 at 119,047 miles and 6 March 2024 at 115,495 miles, yet both list no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. The history is sparse and clean beyond those anomalies. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points typical of a nineteen-year-old Spanish-built VW Group chassis, particularly sills, subframes, and suspension mounting areas. Although the tester logged no advisories on recent passes, the absence of flagged wear on items such as brake discs, coil springs, or suspension bushes does not confirm their condition, only that they met minimum standards on the day. Given the two defect-free failures and the clean subsequent passes, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance without neglecting consumables to a dangerous degree. Verify the 2024 and 2025 failure reasons via DVSA recall or clerical context, and scrutinise tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions during any viewing.
