2021 SEAT Leon SE Dynamic TSI EVO 1.0L Petrol · DA21 UYC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a trend of deferred maintenance regarding wear components. While it passed the test on 12 May 2026 at 42,008 miles, the car had failed just four days prior due to an emissions failure and multiple tyre issues. The resolution of the lambda sensor reading suggests the engine or fuel mixture was addressed, but the persistence of suspension advisories across multiple years indicates that the previous owner only addressed faults once they reached a point of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. The record shows a steady progression from 23,458 miles in April 2024 to 29,803 miles in April 2025, followed by a significant jump in the final year leading to May 2026. This moderate usage suggests the car has not been subjected to high-stress environments, which generally benefits the drivetrain despite the specific wear seen on rubber components noted in the reports. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the offside front shock absorber, which has been flagged for light misting of oil since at least April 2024 at 23,458 miles. Given that this has persisted over 18,000 miles, the seal is likely nearing failure and will soon require a unit replacement. The nearside rear tyre also showed sidewall cracking and perishing in the most recent test, which is a sign of the rubber degrading due to age despite the relatively low mileage. Because the front tyres were found at the legal limit of 3mm, a full set of new tyres may be required immediately to ensure safety and grip.
