2021 SEAT Leon FR Phev S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric · DE71 OKG

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift towards mechanical wear. Following a clean test in May 2025, the most recent inspection in April 2026 identified multiple new advisories that were not present in the previous year. While the car passed the test, the appearance of front suspension bush wear and low tyre tread indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where significant consumable and rubber components require replacement. The vehicle has covered a high volume of mileage, averaging approximately 12,600 miles per year, which is substantial for a five-year-old hybrid. Between the October 2024 test at 44,653 miles and the April 2026 test, the car covered over 18,000 miles in just eighteen months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway use, which places specific stresses on the chassis and drivetrain components, explaining the accelerated degradation of the front suspension arms noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record flags worn rear bushes on the lower control arms on both the nearside and offside sides, a condition that will soon lead to handling instability or uneven tyre wear if not addressed. Furthermore, both front tyres are already nearing the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear, which suggests a potential alignment issue or worn shock absorbers. The buyer should also check the condition of the brake pads and discs, as the high mileage has likely resulted in significant thinning of the braking system..
