2018 SEAT Leon 1.8L Petrol · DK18 MTY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 38,712 miles passed, it introduced multiple advisories regarding tyre condition, including a damaged offside front sidewall and two rear tyres worn to the legal limit. This indicates that the previous owner has deferred basic consumable replacements until they reached a point of failure or near-failure during inspection. At 38,712 miles over eight years, the car has clocked significantly below the national average, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, yet the data reveals a period of recent active use. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the vehicle covered over 4,000 miles in a single year, whereas the intervals between earlier tests suggest the car may have sat stationary for longer periods, which can often lead to perished rubber components and brake disc flat-spotting. A buyer must inspect the mechanical condition more closely, specifically focusing on the braking system. The March 2024 failure for rear brake pads being 75% worn suggests that service intervals are being neglected, so the buyer should check the remaining discs for uneven wear or pitting resulting from low use. The February 2026 advisory for uneven tyre wear and a sidewall injury confirms that a full set of tyres is likely required immediately to ensure safety. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should also target the suspension bushings and rubber seals for cracking or per, which frequently occur on age-related vehicles regardless of the distance driven.
