Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the high mileage and recent history of MOT failures. While the most recent test was a pass, the vehicle's usage patterns require careful scrutiny.
Given the high mileage of over 160,000 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying a consistent service history. Since the MOT records do not specify the nature of the failures in 2024 and 2025, you must ask the seller exactly what caused these failures and if they were rectified with genuine parts.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the fact that the vehicle has required multiple MOT interventions. Check the timing belt (cambelt) and water pump replacement intervals, as these are critical on the 1.6 TDI engine and are likely due if not already performed given the current mileage.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Leon is designed for high-mileage efficiency, typically offering good fuel economy on long motorway journeys. However, at this mileage, maintenance costs may increase as components like the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) or suspension elements reach the end of their typical lifespans.
Insurance groups for this model vary depending on the specific trim, but expect mid-range costs. Tax and fuel will be relatively efficient, but you should budget for more frequent mechanical attention compared to a lower-mileage equivalent.
Because the MOT history shows failures in both 2024 and 2025 without recorded defect descriptions, you should perform a thorough physical inspection. Pay close attention to the underside of the white chassis for signs of corrosion and check the condition of the braking components and tyres, which are common MOT failure points.
Specifically for this 1.6 diesel variant, listen for any unusual engine noise that might indicate injector or turbo issues, and check for any signs of oil leaks. Ensure the clutch and flywheel feel smooth, as these are high-wear items on high-mileage diesel hatchbacks.
This 2014 SEAT Leon 1.6 diesel (RX64XFE) has covered 160,408 miles since its first registration in September 2014. The MOT history shows a pattern of intermittent failures, including a failure in April 2024 and another in October 2025, though no specific defect types were recorded in the data provided. The mileage is significantly higher than average for a vehicle of this age.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific SEAT Leon model to provide a statistical comparison.
