2021 SEAT Leon SE Dynamic TSI 1.5L Petrol · FD70 BVC

The most recent MOT inspection conducted on 19 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has transitioned from a period of minor tyre-related advisories and a trivial headlamp aim failure in 2024 to a completely clean bill of health. The absence of structural corrosion or mechanical failures in the recent history suggests the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition. With a recorded mileage of 37,618 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,524 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a modern hatchback, suggesting a balanced mix of urban and motorway driving. This level of mileage is generally low enough to avoid premature wear on major drivetrain components while remaining high enough to prevent the common issues associated with long-term standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished seals. Despite the clean most recent test, the December 2024 advisories regarding tyre perishing and edge wear on three of the tyres warrant a physical inspection. The buyer should examine the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking and verify the manufacture date codes to ensure the rubber has not exceeded its safe operational lifespan. Edge wear on the offside front tyre specifically suggests a potential misalignment of the steering geometry or incorrect camber settings. During a test drive, listen for any abnormal road noise or steering pull, and check for uneven tread wear across the width of the tyres. Given the vehicle age and the TSI engine configuration, it is essential to verify the service history for consistent oil and filter intervals to ensure long-term engine health. The buyer should inspect the brake discs for any surface corrosion and check that the brake pedal feel is firm without shuddering, which would indicate warping. Additionally, check the health of the 12V battery and ensure that all calendar-based fluid replacements, such as brake fluid and coolant, have been performed according to the manufacturer schedule to prevent internal system degradation.
