2010 SEAT LEON1.6L Diesel

The 2025‑08‑04 MOT at 81,535 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The annual testing history shows a stable maintenance trend, with each successive test maintaining a defect‑free status despite recurring notes on suspension oil misting and tyre perishing that have not progressed to failures. Mileage has risen from 26,200 miles in July 2013 to 81,535 miles in August 2025, an average of about 5,100 miles per year, which is low for a 16‑year‑old vehicle and suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. The increments are steady, with no evidence of long idle stretches; the largest jump occurred between 2014 and 2015 (33,295 to 44,138 miles) and then stabilized to roughly 1,500–2,000 miles annually in the most recent five years. A buyer should therefore inspect the near‑side front shock absorbers for oil leakage and bush wear, examine tyre sidewalls and tread for perishing and cracking, verify the condition of the central exhaust mounting and surrounding chassis for rust or corrosion, and check headlamp aim and alignment, as these items have repeatedly appeared in the record and represent the most likely sources of mechanical risk.
