2018 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · KT04 OSH

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy condition following a clean MOT pass on April 20 2026 at 75,695 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of stability, as the car has cleared the two most recent inspections without any recorded defects. While earlier history indicates mechanical failures, the subsequent passes suggest that the previous owner was proactive in addressing safety-critical faults once identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,462 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation of use, with 10,805 miles covered between May 2024 and April 2025, and another 13,953 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This regularity suggests consistent operation rather than long periods of standing, which typically helps prevent internal seals from drying or brake components from seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system components. The 2024 failure flagged misting on both front shock absorbers and a structural bulge in the offside front tyre, while the 2025 test identified a fractured offside rear coil spring. Although these issues were rectified, the buyer should inspect the front dampers for any further oil leakage and check the rubber bushes and mounting for signs of premature wear. Given the history of suspension failures, a thorough check of the wheel geometry and tyre wear patterns is advisable to ensure no misalignment has resulted from the previous repairs.
