2008 SEAT Leon 1.6L Petrol · SC57 FET

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 July 2024 at 115,780 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met the testing requirements over the last several years. While the record shows a failure in July 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed and rectified the identified faults promptly without allowing them to escalate into mechanical neglect or structural failure. At 115,780 miles, this 18-year-old Leon averages approximately 6,432 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-duty usage for its age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 14,000 miles covered between June 2022 and January 2023, and another 14,435 miles between January 2023 and July 2024. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent seals, rubber components, and braking systems from drying out or seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the underside and suspension points for structural corrosion, given the vehicle's age. Although the recent records are clean of specific advisories, the failures in 2022 and 2024 indicate that components occasionally require attention to remain compliant. Pay close attention to the condition of the arm bushes, coil springs, and the integrity of the brake lines to ensure no hidden wear is developing that the MOT tester did not capture.
