2018 SEAT LEON1.5L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on December 9, 2025, 57,278 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a significant setback during that same session. The car failed the initial test just four miles prior due to a major exhaust leak and a lambda sensor reading outside specified limits. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately to achieve a clean pass suggests the current owner is willing to address mechanical failures when they are flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,160 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression between tests, moving from 21,251 miles in late 2021 to 57,278 miles in late 2025. This consistent usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber components, seals, and preventing the dry rot of tyres or oxidation of brake components common in low-use vehicles. A buyer should pay close attention to the exhaust system, given the recurring issues with lambda readings and leaks in both 2021 and 2025. While the 2025 repair seems successful, the recurring nature of the emissions fault can sometimes indicate intermittent catalytic converter efficiency or sensor degradation. Additionally, the 2022 record at 30,241 miles highlighted thin brake pads on all axles and uneven inner edge wear on the nearside front tyre. This indicates a past alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be visually inspected to ensure the vehicle is not currently causing premature tyre wear.
