2017 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · JAS 131N

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 62,201 miles resulted in a clean pass, following several years of clean records. This suggests that any previous mechanical or cosmetic issues identified by testers have been addressed, and the car currently sits in a high state of repair according to DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between April 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 18,590 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 4,600 miles per year during that period. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber bushes or seals if the vehicle remains stationary for long periods between tests. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension components that were flagged in the 2022 test. While the 2022 record noted a light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber and worn tyres on the rear, the buyer must verify that the shock has not developed a significant leak since then. Given the history of edge-wear on tyres, a professional wheel alignment check is advisable to ensure the geometry is correct and not causing premature degradation of new tyres.
