2013 SEAT Leon 1.8L Petrol · KM63 UGA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs. The most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 61,809 miles resulted in an initial failure due to an ineffective fuel cap and pitted rear brake discs. While these issues were rectified for the retest, the presence of a non-excessive oil leak indicates that the engine is beginning to show signs of age-related degradation despite the low overall mileage. At 61,809 miles, this 13-year-old Leon has covered an average of approximately 4,755 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent, with intervals of roughly 2,000 miles between annual tests from 2022 to 2025. However, low-mileage usage often leads to rubber component failure. This is evidenced in the October 2023 test at 57,858 miles, where three tyres were flagged for perishing and cracking, suggesting the vehicle sits for long periods rather than seeing regular motorway use. A buyer should physically inspect the engine bay to identify the source of the oil leak noted in 2025 to ensure it is not a critical head gasket or main seal failure. The rear brake discs were noted as pitted and scored, which often occurs when vehicles remain stationary, allowing corrosion to form on the metal. Given the previous history of perishing tyres, a thorough check of the sidewalls and suspension rubber bushes is necessary to identify further dry rot that may not be visible during a standard inspection.
