2019 SEAT Leon 2.0L Petrol · DG19 CJF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging mechanical wear. While the car passed its August 2025 test, the most recent report introduced multiple hardware-related advisories that were absent in previous years. This transition from a defect-free history in 2023 to a list of developing faults indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where components will require proactive attention despite the relatively low mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use commuting, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year over the seven-year period. Between August 2022 at 23,201 miles and August 2025 at 50,676 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 27,000 miles. The jump of 8,384 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a steady rate of use, which correlates with the increased wear noted on the suspension and braking components. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the August 2025 test flagged worn suspension arm bushes and slightly distorted road wheels on both sides. These issues often stem from impact or poor alignment rather than just mileage. The braking system also shows signs of neglect, with thin rear pads noted in August 2024 that likely require replacement now. Furthermore, the perishing of the offside rear tyre and the edge wear on the offside front tyre suggest the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life, necessitating a full set of tyres to ensure safety and proper handling.
