2014 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · YE64 OFB

The 2026-05-06 MOT at 59,181 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend as the vehicle has now passed three consecutive annual tests without failure. At an average of 4,932 miles per year since its 2014 registration, the mileage is low for a twelve‑year‑old car, implying periods of limited use or extended standing. The increase from 39,304 miles in November 2022 to 45,210 miles in November 2023 added 5,906 miles in one year, while the interval from November 2023 to November 2024 saw a rise of 6,114 miles over roughly eleven months, showing consistent but not rapid usage. The final climb to 59,181 miles between May 2025 and May 2026 was only 2,379 miles in five and a half months, reflecting a modest acceleration toward the most recent test. Recurring tyre perishing – all tyres perished and wearing low in the 2024 test, rear tyre deterioration noted in 2023, and an off‑side rear tyre crack in 2022 – points to infrequent tyre replacement and possible neglect of routine upkeep. Front brake pads were reported as wearing low in 2023, and the 2026 test flagged no defects, yet the pattern suggests the braking system should be examined for binding calipers or worn discs. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the tyres, verify brake pad thickness and the integrity of the brake discs and calipers for binding, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, and look for any structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches and underbody, as well as the overall state of the exhaust system.
