2018 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · Y21 MAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 24 May 2025 at 105,667 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety and emissions requirements. While a failure occurred in June 2023, the subsequent clean passes suggest that any mechanical issues were addressed immediately and that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a functional standard since. The mileage pattern reveals a significant increase in usage during the vehicle's life. Between February 2022 and June 2023, the car covered approximately 32,184 miles, suggesting relatively low annual use. However, between the June 2023 and May 2025 tests, the vehicle accumulated an additional 41,562 miles in just two years. This current rate of over 20,000 miles per year is well above the national average for an eight-year-old hatchback and increases stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the rapid increase in annual mileage, checking for premature wear on the control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and exhaust system is essential. The record does not show recurring structural corrosion or brake failures, but the high mileage warrants a close look at the brake discs for thinning and the tyres for uneven wear. Inspect the vehicle for signs of oil leaks around the engine and turbocharger to ensure the high-intensity use has not compromised the powertrain's longevity.
