2021 SEAT Leon SE TSI EVO 1.0L Petrol · CY21 MBF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on June 16 2025 at 36,147 miles failed due to a fractured offside rear coil spring and perished condition on the rear tyres. While the vehicle passed immediately after rectification, the recurring nature of these consumable faults suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they cause a failure. The trend remains stable but technically inconsistent. At five years of age with 36,147 miles, the SEAT Leon has averaged approximately 7,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-intensity usage. The gap between the June 2024 test at 27,580 miles and the June 2025 test shows a consistent accumulation of 8,567 miles. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can lead to the degradation of rubber components like the tyres noted in the recent record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the fractured offside rear coil spring in 2025 indicates a potential for neglected fatigue in the remaining components. The record also shows a history of poor tyre management, with two front tyres falling below the legal 1.6mm limit in 2024. It is essential to check all four tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as the tester flagged these on the rear axle despite the low overall mileage. Additionally, ensure the adult seatbelts are in good condition, as a child seat previously obstructed a full inspection of the rear belt mechanism.
