2020 SEAT Leon FR Black ED TSI EVO S-A 1.5L Petrol · DG70 GKK

The most recent MOT test conducted in August 2026 resulted in a pass, though it introduced several advisories regarding tyre condition. Looking at the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle has transitioned from a completely clean record in 2023 and 2024 to showing signs of wear in the most recent two years. This shift is typical for a vehicle of this age and does not necessarily indicate neglect, but rather reflects the natural lifecycle of consumable components such as brake pads and tyres. The maintenance profile appears stable, moving from a period of zero defects into a standard wear-and-tear phase. With a recorded mileage of 39,515 miles over approximately six years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 6,586 miles per year. This represents moderate to low annual usage, which is generally beneficial for the mechanical longevity of the engine, gearbox, and drivetrain. However, such lower mileage profiles can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as tyre perishing or battery degradation if the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age and does not suggest any unusual patterns of rapid accumulation or excessive idling. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre advisories noted in the latest inspection. The report specifies cracking or perishing on both rear tyres and a nail in the nearside rear tyre. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or increased road noise, which could indicate structural damage or uneven tread wear. Visually inspect the sidewalls for deep cracks, as perishing indicates the rubber is losing its structural integrity and grip, particularly in wet weather. Given these advisories, you should budget for the immediate replacement of both rear tyres to ensure safety and compliance. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads requires verification. You should confirm whether these pads and the associated rear brake discs have been replaced since that test. During your inspection, listen for any high-pitched squealing or grinding noises when applying the brakes, and check for any shuddering through the brake pedal, which could signal warped discs or binding calipers. Finally, because of the relatively low annual mileage, ensure the service history confirms annual oil changes regardless of distance, and check the 12V battery's health to ensure it has not been weakened by infrequent use.
