2019 SEAT Leon 1.5L Petrol · G9 MVT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 70,614 miles resulted in a failure due to misaligned headlamps and a faulty rear wiper blade. While these are minor adjustments, the previous failure in April 2025 reveals a pattern of neglecting mechanical components, suggesting the owner only addresses faults once they reach the point of legal failure. At 70,614 miles over seven years, the SEAT averages approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family hatchback. The mileage data shows consistent use, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between July 2024 and April 2025, and another 7,000 miles before the February 2026 test. This regular interval suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally prevents seal-related issues but places steady demand on the suspension and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking assembly. The April 2025 test flagged two fractured rear coil springs and noted oil misting on both front shock absorbers. While these were likely replaced to pass the test, the misting indicates the dampers are nearing the end of their life. Furthermore, the record shows thin brake pads in 2024 and legal-limit tyres in both 2024 and 2025. The buyer should check for uneven tyre wear and verify that the recent suspension components were fitted correctly, as the history shows a tendency to run components until they fail.
