2020 SEAT Leon FR TSI EVO 1.5L Petrol · DA70 NKE

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-09 recorded a pass with one advisory : the offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit and showed edge wear. This mirrors a 2025-12-08 fail for the same tyre issue and a rear reversing lamp inoperative. The 2025-12-09 pass suggests the reversing lamp may have been repaired, but the recurring tyre wear indicates a persistent concern. A 2024-12-20 fail highlighted a serious defect : both rear shock absorbers leaking fluid. This was addressed by the subsequent 2024-12-20 pass , but the 2023-12-30 MOT revealed earlier issues: both rear tyres worn close to the limit and front brakes fluctuating slightly. These patterns suggest repeated tyre wear and suspension-related defects as the primary risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 34,360 miles for a 6-year-old car is low, averaging 5,727 miles annually. This could imply light use or periods of inactivity , which might contribute to tyre wear or fluid leaks in components like shock absorbers. However, the low mileage does not fully explain the recurring issues, which may point to ongoing mechanical or alignment problems rather than typical wear. The trend shows stability in defect types but not in severity.
