2017 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · BN17 VSE

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 114,632 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates an improving trend in maintenance standards following a period of minor mechanical neglect noted in previous years. While the 2023 test highlighted several areas for concern, the two subsequent clean passes suggest that the identified faults have been addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting minimum requirements. At 114,632 miles, this nine-year-old Leon has covered more than average mileage, averaging approximately 12,700 miles annually. The record shows consistent usage, with roughly 3,300 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and 2,800 miles in the preceding year. This steady mileage accumulation puts significant demand on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though the lack of long standing periods suggests the vehicle is subjected to regular operation. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the 2023 test flagged a worn nearside front suspension arm pin or bush. Although this did not cause a failure then, high-mileage vehicles often suffer from progressive wear in these rubber components. The history also shows recurring issues with tyre perishing and inflation between 2022 and 2023, indicating that previous owners overlooked basic consumable maintenance. Verify the current condition of all tyres for sidew cracking and ensure the rubber has not aged significantly since those advisories.
