2020 SEAT Leon FR Black Edition TSI EVO 1.5L Petrol · FV20 KKP

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 19 July 2026, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening as the vehicle ages and mileage increases. While the car remains roadworthy, the July 2026 test introduced several mechanical advisories that were not present in previous years. The tester flagged a slightly distorted offside rear road wheel, light oil misting from the offside front shock absorber, and pitted or scored rear brake discs. These issues suggest that components are beginning to reach the end of their service life due to increased mechanical stress. The mileage accumulation is significant and accelerating. Between July 2023 and July 2024, the vehicle covered 9,000 miles, but it has since covered over 60,000 miles in just two years. The jump from 41,877 miles in July 2024 to 102,897 miles in July 2026 represents a rapid increase of approximately 30,000 miles per year. This high-intensity usage explains the shift from the clean record seen in 2023 and early 2024 to the more frequent component failures and advisories appearing in the most recent inspections. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The history shows a fractured nearside rear coil spring in July 2024, and the recent oil misting on the offside front shock absorber suggests further suspension wear is imminent. The pitted rear brake discs will likely require replacement soon to maintain effective stopping performance. Additionally, the distorted rear wheel noted in July 2026 warrants a close look for any signs of impact damage or alignment issues. The tyre management also shows a pattern of neglect. The vehicle failed in July 2024 due to cuts and excessive wear on both front tyres and passed in July 2025 with advisories for tyres worn close to the legal limit. This suggests the previous owner often runs consumables to the point of failure rather than replacing them proactively. Given the high annual mileage, a buyer should check the current tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres to ensure they can withstand heavy usage.
