Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus on verifying the service history to ensure the 1.2L engine has had regular oil changes, as low annual mileage can sometimes necessitate shorter service intervals. Confirm that the tyres and brake pads mentioned in the 2024 and 2025 MOT advisories have been replaced, as these are common wear-and-tear items for this model.
Check for any evidence of recent maintenance that aligns with the 2026 clean MOT pass. Since this is a 2015 model, ensure the battery and other rubber components are in good order despite the low mileage.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering competitive fuel economy for a petrol hatchback and falling into a moderate insurance group. Road tax will be based on the 2015 emissions bracket for this specific engine size.
Maintenance costs are generally moderate, though as evidenced by the MOT history, tyres and brake pads are the most frequent expenditure items. The estimated annual cost covers fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Inspect the front brake discs and pads, as these were flagged as wearing thin in 2024 and 2025; verify they have been renewed. Check all four tyres for tread depth and even wear, specifically the nearside and offside front tyres which were noted as close to the legal limit in previous tests.
Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and operation, as headlamp issues are cited as a top failure reason for SEAT Leons across the wider aggregate data. Ensure all lights are functioning correctly to avoid common model-specific MOT failures.
This blue 2015 SEAT Leon 1.2L petrol has covered 49,719 miles, which is significantly below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes and no failures. While there were repeated advisories for brake and tyre wear between 2024 and 2025, the most recent test in July 2026 was clear of defects.
The SEAT Leon maintains a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 82.5%, with common issues typically limited to wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes.
