2010 SEAT Leon 1.9L Diesel · GR09 OBR

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status following a failure on 11 April 2026 at 160,038 miles. While the previous years showed a period of clean passes, the most recent result indicates a significant mechanical or structural defect that has not been addressed or rectified prior to the current date. The maintenance trend appears unstable, as the car moved from a clean record in 2024 to a failure in 2025 and again in the most recent round of testing. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the car covered 9,980 miles, followed by another 9,855 miles in the following year. The most recent interval shows 7,744 miles between April 2025 and 2026. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which typically results in predictable wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and rubber components. A buyer must investigate the specific cause of the April 2026 failure, as the lack of recorded defects in the provided summary suggests an administrative oversight or a critical component failure. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection of the structural integrity for corrosion, particularly on the sills and subframes is essential. The buyer should also check for signs of binding brake calipers or worn coil springs, which are common failure points on vehicles exceeding 160,000 miles. The absence of advisories in previous years might imply that the owners have ignored minor preventative maintenance until it became a terminal issue.
