2017 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · KS66 OKF

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving maintenance trend. Following a failure in January 2023 at 31,156 miles, the car passed three consecutive tests with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety issues identified previously were addressed. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 49,934 miles confirms the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that avoids immediate failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the January 2023 and August 2023 tests, where only 4,132 miles were covered in seven months, whereas the subsequent accumulation of 6,230 miles between August 2024 and July 2025 shows consistent use. This low annual mileage suggests the engine has not undergone heavy stress, though it often leads to component degradation if the car sat for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension and the front seat belt. The January 2023 test flagged light misting on both rear shock absorbers, and while these passed later, the buyer must check for any increased oil leakage which would indicate imminent seal failure. The offside front seat belt webbing was previously noted for damage; a close inspection should ensure the fraying has not progressed or compromised its structural integrity. Given the low mileage, also inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and the brake discs for corrosion, as these components age quickly on vehicles that are not driven frequently.
