2017 SEAT Leon 1.0L Petrol · WU67 ACX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT activity on 2026‑01‑30 shows a failure due to front brake pads measuring less than 1.5 mm and a front disc worn to the point of requiring attention, while the passed test on the same day recorded only tyre wear advisories. This mirrors a pattern of deteriorating brake condition evident since 2024, when a rear pad advisory first appeared, progressed to a rear pad failure in early 2025, and now extends to the front brakes. The recurring nature of pad wear and disc deterioration indicates a worsening maintenance trend rather than a stable or improving one. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 6,600 miles per year, rising from 24,091 miles in 2021 to 59,764 miles in 2026. The annual MOT entries are spaced closely, with no significant gaps, confirming a consistent usage profile typical for a nine‑year‑old vehicle. The recent dates (January 2026) place the test within six months of the current date, so the recorded condition is current and not stale. A prospective buyer should inspect the brake system thoroughly, checking pad thickness on all four wheels and examining both front and rear discs for scoring or pitting. Tyre condition warrants close scrutiny as well; tread depth should be measured, and any edge wear or cracking—particularly on the offside rear—should be noted. While no rust or structural corrosion is evident in the MOT history, a visual survey of the underbody and chassis for early signs of corrosion is advisable. Suspension bushes and mounts should also be examined for excessive wear, given the vehicle’s age and mileage.
