2017 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · KU67 BSO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift towards suspension component wear. The most recent test in September 2022 at 49,624 miles passed without defects but noted a light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber. While this did not trigger a failure, it indicates the beginning of a component's end life, marking a departure from the clean records seen in previous years. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles annually. There is a significant gap in usage between September 2021 and September 2022, where the car covered 23,823 miles in a single year, contrasting with earlier where it may have sat for longer periods, which can sometimes lead to dry-rotted seals or brake corrosion. Prior to this period, the mileage remained consistently low, suggesting the drivetrain and engine components have experienced less mechanical stress than a high-mileage counterpart. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front shock absorber to determine if the recorded misting has progressed to a functional leak. Given the previous failure for a fractured coil spring in September 2020 at 18,321 miles, a thorough check of the entire suspension geometry is necessary to ensure no other springs or bushes have developed fatigue. The low annual mileage also warrants an inspection of the brake discs and calipers, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer surface pitting or seized pistons if not driven regularly.
