2017 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · JU17 EDY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on August 30, 2025 at 117,638 miles showed a failure due to serious fluid leaks from both rear shock absorbers. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the recurring presence of worn brake components across multiple years suggests the previous owners only addressed faults once they reached the point of failure or a legal advisory threshold. At 117,638 miles over nine years, this SEAT Leon has averaged approximately 13,000 miles per year, which sits above the national average for its age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 17,000 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 11,700 miles between 2024 and 2025. This high usage places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which aligns with the mechanical wear patterns noted in the MOT record. A buyer must personally inspect the suspension system thoroughly, as the record shows a progression from light misting on front shocks in 2022 to total failure of both rear shocks by 2025. The braking system also requires close attention, with pitted, scored, and worn discs flagged in 2022, 2023, and 2025. This indicates a long-term pattern of corrosion or excessive wear on the front and rear rotors, meaning the current components may be nearing the end of their functional life despite the recent pass.
