2020 SEAT Leon FR TSI EVO 1.5L Petrol · KP70 EFY

The 2020 SEAT Leon FR TSI EVO holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 22 May 2026 at 63,077 miles, passing with two minor advisories. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but shows a recurring pattern of tyre sidewall degradation that has persisted across multiple test cycles. The most recent test flagged a worn nearside front suspension arm rear bush not yet resulting in excessive movement, alongside a slightly damaged or perishing nearside front tyre sidewall. These are not immediate failures, yet the repeated appearance of tyre condition advisories suggests cosmetic or age-related deterioration has not been consistently addressed between annual tests. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,500 miles per year. A gap exists between the December 2023 test at 57,262 miles and the June 2025 test at 57,615 miles, representing only 353 miles over approximately eighteen months. This indicates a prolonged period of very light use or possible standing time, which can contribute to the type of tyre sidewall perishing and cracking observed in the records. The subsequent jump to 63,077 miles by May 2026 shows a return to more regular driving, covering 5,462 miles in under a year. The recurring tyre defects across the 2025 and 2026 tests warrant close inspection of all four tyres, including sidewalls and inner edges, for cuts, perishing, or embedded objects that may not be immediately visible. A buyer should also examine the nearside front suspension arm bush closely, as wear noted in May 2026 could progress to excessive movement if left unattended. Given the period of low mileage between 2023 and 2025, it is worth inspecting brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or binding, rubber components for dry rot, and the exhaust system for any signs of moisture ingress or corrosion from prolonged standing. A short test drive under varied conditions will reveal whether the suspension bush wear translates into knocking, vague steering, or uneven tyre wear on the inner edge.
