2010 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · KS10 FCD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 94,746 miles identified a new defect involving a slight oil leak from the driveshaft seals. While the car passed this inspection, the appearance of a fluid leak after a previously clean record in the January 2025 test suggests that components are beginning to degrade due to age rather than mechanical stress from high mileage. At 16 years old, the total recorded mileage of 94,746 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. This low usage profile often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it can lead to the degradation of rubber seals and hoses over long periods. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 9,000 miles, indicating a consistent but light usage pattern. The gaps between tests are standard, though the history shows that items are often neglected until the annual inspection deadline. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the driveshaft area to determine if the oil leak noted in 2026 is a minor seep or a persistent drip requiring immediate seal replacement. The 2024 failures highlighted multiple issues with uneven tyre wear and a non-functional windscreen wiper, which suggests that the previous owner ignored basic maintenance requirements. The new owner should also verify the operation of the offside rear passenger door and the functionality of the washer system, as these were previous points of failure. Given the age of the vehicle, a close look for structural corrosion on the underside and suspension mounting points is essential, as low mileage does not protect against time-related rust.
