2014 SEAT Leon SE TDI 1.6L Diesel · TY03 AMO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by three consecutive MOT passes without any recorded defects. The most recent test conducted on 28 March 2026 at 148,247 miles returned no failures or advisories, matching the clean records from the previous years. This consistency indicates that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without flagging immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage figure of 148,247 miles over a twelve-year period reflects an average usage of approximately 12,354 miles annually. The data shows a significant spike in usage between April 2024 and April 2025, where the car covered 20,853 miles in just twelve months. However, the usage moderated to 8,572 miles in the final year leading up to the 2026 test. This high annual mileage generally suggests consistent motorway use, which often results in less clutch wear but higher cumulative stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. While the MOT history is clean, the buyer must perform physical inspections on high-wear areas typical of a high-mileage diesel Leon. Focus attention on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components frequently degrade after 140,000 miles. The brakes should also be checked for binding calipers or thin discs, as the MOT does not measure pad thickness beyond the legal threshold. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and underside is also necessary to ensure no rust has developed undetected between the visual inspections.
