2019 SEAT Leon 1.5L Petrol · FM06 MCD

The most recent MOT test completed in September 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle demonstrates a stable and improving profile. While an advisory was noted in December 2023 regarding the perishing of both rear tyres, the subsequent clean MOT results in 2024 and 2025 indicate that these issues were addressed and that the vehicle is being maintained to a consistent standard. With a recorded mileage of 52,584 over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,500 miles per year. This represents typical, moderate usage for a SEAT Leon in the UK. This level of mileage is mechanically advantageous as it avoids the extreme wear associated with high-mileage fleet vehicles, yet it is high enough to suggest the vehicle has been used regularly enough to prevent significant component seizure or excessive corrosion from prolonged periods of standing. Despite the clean recent history, the previous advisory regarding tyre perishing warrants a thorough physical inspection. You should examine the sidewalls of all four tyres for any signs of cracking or age-related degradation, even if the tread depth appears adequate. During the test drive, pay close attention to any vibrations through the steering wheel or rhythmic thumping noises, which could indicate uneven wear or structural issues within the tyre carcass. Furthermore, because the annual mileage is relatively low, inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding, which can happen when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear oxidation from the friction surfaces. It is also essential to verify the service history to confirm that time-based maintenance has been observed. Components such as brake fluid and engine coolant should be replaced according to the manufacturer's calendar intervals, regardless of the low mileage. Check the condition of the 12V battery, as lower usage patterns can lead to reduced charge retention. Finally, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension when navigating uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn bushes or coil springs, and check for any evidence of fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox to ensure the mechanical integrity remains sound.
