2014 SEAT Leon 1.2L Petrol · FG14 CZB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 72,324 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest report indicates the beginning of wear-related issues requiring attention. The tester flagged light oil misting on three shock absorbers and minor perishing on the nearside rear tyre, suggesting that components are now reaching the end of their functional lifespan but have not yet reached critical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 45,312 miles and March 2026 at 72,324 miles, the car covered roughly 27,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage. The gap of approximately 4,600 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a regular driving schedule, which generally correlates with better mechanical health for mechanical components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension assembly. The record shows a recurring pattern of thin brake pads, with rear pads noted at 53,193 miles and front pads at 61,190 miles. This suggests the owner replaces components only when they reach the wear limit. Furthermore, the oil misting on the shock absorbers recorded in March 2026 should be monitored for active leaks, as failing seals will eventually necessitate the replacement of the entire units. The nearside rear tyre should also be checked for deeper sidewall cracking, as the advisory indicates the rubber is degrading due to age despite low mileage.
