AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 29 October 2025 at 91,149 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared with no defects recorded at that test. Prior to this, the October 2025 and October 2024 tests each show a fail logged on the day before the pass at near-identical mileages, yet no defects were listed against either failure, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault on the car. The mileage pattern sits at a typical level for a 2014 vehicle, accumulating roughly 7,596 miles per year to reach 91,149 miles. From the 19 October 2023 pass at 82,648 miles to the 23 October 2024 pass at 87,776 miles the car covered 5,128 miles, then 3,373 miles to the October 2025 pass at 91,149 miles, showing a slight year-on-year reduction in use. The record is sparse and clean, with no advisories or defects logged at any pass, so the data gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the age and the absence of any advisory history that might otherwise confirm those items were checked and found sound. The two fail entries with zero recorded defects warrant a check of the DVSA failure reason codes, as a unexplained fail one day before a clean pass can mask a dismissed minor item such as a number plate or lighting fault. No recurring mechanical or corrosion trend is present in the official record, so the Leon shows no worsening fault pattern. Verify the bodywork and underside for structural rust during a physical viewing, since MOT entries at this mileage can omit early-stage corrosion that has not yet breached test thresholds.
