2019 SEAT Leon 1.5L Petrol · FM19 TPF

A recurring pattern of tyre wear advisories defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, specifically regarding edge wear across multiple axles. While the most recent test on 02 July 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, the previous two consecutive tests in 2023 and 2025 flagged tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This trend suggests a history of uneven tread depletion, which can be indicative of alignment issues or suspension geometry changes, although the absence of defects in the latest inspection shows these specific items have since been addressed. The vehicle has covered 77,018 miles over its seven-year lifespan, averaging approximately 11,003 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a modern hatchback, suggesting consistent road use rather than long periods of stationary storage or excessive high-mileage motorway transit. Mechanically, this level of accumulation means that while the vehicle is not an outlier, standard wear on consumable components such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes should be expected given the total mileage. Given the repeated advisories for edge wear on both front and rear tyres, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the steering and suspension during a test drive. Listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or damaged coil springs. Additionally, check for any steering pull or a wandering sensation at cruising speeds, as these symptoms often correlate with the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2023 and 2025 MOT records. The absence of defects in the 2024 and 2026 inspections suggests that the issues flagged in earlier years were rectified, but it remains important to inspect the current condition of the tyre treads and sidewalls. Ensure that the tyres currently fitted do not show signs of uneven wear, particularly on the inner or outer edges, which would indicate that an alignment issue remains unresolved. A thorough check of the steering rack and various suspension linkages is advised to ensure the vehicle's directional stability is consistent with the clean result of the most recent test.
