2021 SEAT Leon SE TDI 2.0L Diesel · DF21 BVU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward wear-related items. The most recent test on 11 May 2026 at 18,647 miles resulted in an advisory for the front brake discs being pitted or scored. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates that the braking components are beginning to degrade, likely due to the vehicle's low-mileage profile. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 14,281 miles and the April 2025 test at 16,067 miles, the car covered only 1,786 miles in a full year. This infrequent usage suggests short frequent trips or long periods of inactivity, which often leads to surface corrosion on metal components and dry seals, consistent with the pitting noted in the 2026 record. A buyer should personally inspect the front braking system to determine if the pitting is merely surface level or indicates deeper structural wear on the discs. The advisory for the offside front tyre in April 2025 also suggests a need to check the remaining tyres for sidewall damage or age-related cracking. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also look for signs of rubber degradation in the suspension bushes and tyres, as these frequently affect vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
