2018 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · SK68 VTZ

This 2018 SEAT Leon presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 3 September 2025 at 14,611 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle has been consistently tested annually around the same late-summer window, and the most recent result represents the strongest outcome in the entire history. No structural, mechanical, or emissions-related failures have ever been logged across five consecutive tests, which is a solid indicator of sound underlying condition and attentive ownership. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle. Covering just 14,611 miles over roughly eight years equates to approximately 1,826 miles per annum, well below the UK average. The odometer readings show steady, incremental accumulation: 6,861 miles in September 2021, 9,124 in September 2022, 11,282 in September 2023, 12,936 in September 2024, and 14,611 in September 2025. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests accounts for 1,675 miles, consistent with the prior annual pattern. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of disuse severe enough to raise corrosion or seizure concerns. The only advisory cluster appeared in the 5 September 2024 test at 12,936 miles, when all four tyres were flagged for slight damage, cracking, or perishing under regulation 5.2.3 (d) (ii). This is a consumable wear item rather than a structural or mechanical defect, but it does suggest the previous owner deferred basic upkeep on rubber components. The fact that no tyre advisories reappeared in the September 2025 test indicates the tyres were subsequently replaced, which is a positive sign. Given the low annual mileage and the age of the vehicle, a buyer should still inspect the sidewalls carefully for dry rot, particularly if the car has spent extended periods stationary. Suspension bushes, brake discs, and calipers deserve close inspection as well, since low-mileage vehicles that sit unused can develop surface corrosion on braking components and perished rubber bushes despite clean MOT results. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for corrosion, as infrequent use can accelerate moisture-related deterioration in catalytic converters and pipework. Overall, the record reflects a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical faults, making it a low-risk proposition provided a thorough in-person inspection confirms the condition of age-related rubber and corrosion-prone components.
