2017 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · WU67 ABK

Recurring tyre wear issues characterize the mechanical history of this vehicle, highlighted by a dangerous failure in January 2023 for insufficient tread depth on both front tyres and a subsequent advisory for the offside front tyre during the most recent pass on 2026-01-09. Outside of these tyre-specific concerns, the vehicle has maintained a stable record of roadworthiness with no other defects recorded across multiple testing cycles. The recorded mileage of 53,848 miles over a nine-year period indicates a low usage profile, averaging approximately 5,983 miles per year. This level of use generally implies reduced mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internals compared to higher-mileage examples, though low-use vehicles can sometimes exhibit accelerated degradation of rubber seals and gaskets due to infrequent heat cycling. Particular attention must be paid to the front axle given the history of tyre failures and the current advisory for edge wear on the offside front tyre. This specific wear pattern often indicates a misalignment of the tracking or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, the buyer should monitor for any steering pull or instability when travelling at cruising speeds. A close physical inspection of the tyre treads is required to determine if the edge wear is indicative of a broader alignment issue. The buyer should also check for uneven wear on the inner or outer shoulders of the tyres, which would confirm the need for a professional four-wheel alignment and a thorough check of the front suspension linkages to ensure no components have developed excessive play.
