T1 BEK MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2015 Seat Leon (T1 BEK) between June 2024 and June 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 11 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (14 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 21 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn rear bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system. The records indicate repeated issues with shock absorber oil misting and leaks between 2024 and 2025, as well as a distorted road wheel. You should request evidence of whether these components were replaced or merely repaired.
Given the history of tyres being run until cords were exposed (2024) and again being worn to the limit (2026), check for uneven wear patterns which could indicate ongoing alignment issues. Ensure you negotiate the price to account for the immediate replacement of the front tyres as highlighted in the latest MOT report.
The 1968cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency over longer distances, though it will fall into a higher tax bracket than smaller petrol variants. Insurance costs will be typical for a 2.0L family hatchback, while diesel fuel costs will vary based on annual mileage.
Maintenance costs for this vehicle are likely to be higher than average due to the recorded wear on suspension bushings, shock absorbers, and brake discs. Expect an annual budget to cover these recurring wear-and-tear items alongside standard servicing.
Focus your inspection on the front end of the vehicle. Specifically, check the front tyres for tread depth and edge wear, as the June 2026 MOT noted both are close to the legal limit. Inspect the shock absorbers for any signs of fresh oil leaks, following the 'serious fluid leak' failure recorded in 2025.
Additionally, examine the brake discs for pitting or scoring, which was an advisory in 2025. Check the nearside front wheel for any signs of distortion or vibration during a test drive, referencing the 2025 MOT failure for a distorted road wheel.
This grey 2015 SEAT Leon diesel has recorded 116,380 miles, which is above the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history shows a trend of chassis and braking issues, including a 2025 failure for a serious shock absorber leak and a worn suspension arm bush. Most recently, in June 2026, the vehicle passed but was flagged for front tyres worn close to the legal limit.
The SEAT Leon has an average MOT pass rate of 82.5%, with brake discs identified as a common failure point across the model range.
