2006 SEAT Leon 1.9L Diesel · SP55 HWJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the clean results of the last three MOT tests. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2023 at 157,664 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car met the minimum safety standards at that time. While a failure occurred just days prior in February 2023 at 157,629 miles, the immediate subsequent pass suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year over the recorded period. The data shows steady usage between 133,077 miles in November 2019 and 145,328 miles in January 2022. There is a notable gap in the records between January 2022 and March 2023, during which the car covered 12,000 miles. Given that the current date is June 2026, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT in over three years, making the historical data obsolete for determining current legal roadworthiness. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation that the MOT does not fully capture. Since the last record is years old, it is vital to check for structural corrosion on the sills and wing arches, which are common weak points for this generation of Leon. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the condition of the brake calipers for seizing, as low-mile use or long periods of standing often leads to perished rubber and fluid degradation that a past MOT would not necessarily predict.
