2020 SEAT Leon 2.0L Petrol · HT69 VNJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 10 June 2026 at 55,715 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in preventative care compared to previous years. While the car maintained a clean record between 2022 and 2024, the 2025 test revealed a significant cluster of mechanical wear and minor defects that suggest a shift from proactive to reactive-only maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per annum. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, with 11,640 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 8,575 miles recorded between September 2025 and June 2026. This regularity suggests consistent use rather than long periods of standing, yet the spike in defects during the 2025 inspection indicates that components are reaching the end of their life without being addressed between service intervals. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the offside front inner roadwheel. The record notes welding repairs in two places as of September 2025, which persisted into the June 2026 test. Welding an alloy wheel is a non-standard repair that compromises the structural integrity of the rim and can lead to catastrophic failure under stress. This wheel should be inspected for cracks or signs of fatigue, and likely replaced with a genuine OEM unit to ensure safety. The braking system also requires close scrutiny. The 2025 test flagged thin pads on both front and rear axles alongside worn front discs. While the car passed the most recent test, the buyer should verify that these pads and discs were actually replaced. The previous mention of a damaged sidewall on the offside front tyre and a nail in the nearside rear tyre further indicates a lack of attention to basic consumables, making a thorough check of the remaining tread depth and condition essential.
