2013 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · FJ63 YPD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 77,928 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest report indicates a shift from structural concerns to consumable wear. While the car achieved clean records in 2024 and 2025, the recent inspection flagged thin rear brake pads and worn discs, suggesting that the braking system now requires immediate attention to prevent a future failure. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 77,928 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows a significant increase in usage between April 2023 and March 2026, where the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles in three years. Prior to this period, the mileage accumulation was much slower, often covering fewer than a few thousand miles annually. Such low-frequency use can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which aligns with the corrosion issues noted in the history. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension assembly, particularly the coil springs. The record shows a corroded nearside rear spring in 2022 and both nearside and offside front springs by 2023. Although these were not flagged in subsequent clean tests, the recurring presence of corrosion suggests the components are prone to rust-related structural failure. Additionally, the rear brakes must be checked for thickness and pitting, as the 2026 test confirmed pads are near the end of their functional life and the discs are showing signs of wear.
