2022 SEAT Leon FR Sport Etsi EVO S-A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · EX22 ABN

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 11 March 2026 with no defects recorded, following a previous pass in March 2025 which noted a minor advisory regarding windscreen damage. This represents a stable and positive maintenance trend, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition and that the previous owner has managed basic safety requirements effectively. At 68,573 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has covered an average of 17,143 miles per year, which is significantly higher than the UK national average. While high-mileage vehicles often benefit from longer motorway journeys that place less stress on the engine than urban stop-start driving, the accelerated accumulation of miles means that wear-and-tear components, such as suspension bushes, brake linings, and drivetrain mounts, will have reached their mid-life or late-life stages sooner than expected for a 2022 model. Given the clean MOT record but high usage, a physical inspection should focus on consumables and chassis wear. During a test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension, particularly over uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn drop links or bushings. Examine the tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns across the inner or outer edges, as this would suggest a need for wheel alignment or suspension geometry correction. Ensure the windscreen damage noted in 2025 has been professionally repaired to prevent the crack from spreading across the field of vision. Particular attention must be paid to the service history to verify that oil changes and filter replacements have been carried out at intervals appropriate for high-mileage usage rather than just the maximum manufacturer limits. Check the brake discs for significant lipping or scoring and ensure there is no shuddering under heavy braking. Finally, verify the condition of the 12V battery and check for any fluid leaks around the engine bay, as the higher operational hours increase the likelihood of seal degradation or gasket seepage.
