2018 SEAT Leon 1.5L Petrol · X20 JBF

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in November 2025 at 47,069 miles which recorded zero defects. The overall maintenance trend appears to be improving as the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The transition from flagged faults to a clean sheet suggests that the previous owner responded to necessary repairs rather than letting them escalate into test failures. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,884 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage over the intervals, moving from 22,557 miles in late 2021 to 47,069 miles by late 2025. This low-frequency usage typically places less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to perishation of rubber components or brake surface corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods between tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the nearside front shock absorber. This component was flagged for light oil misting in both November 2023 at 35,223 miles and again in December 2024 at 41,279 miles. While it passed the subsequent 2025 test, persistent misting indicates a failing seal that will eventually lead to a leak and component failure. Additionally, since the rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin in 2023, the remaining friction material should be verified to ensure they were replaced during the 11,846 miles driven since that advisory.
