2015 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · KT07 ROB

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 with 102,353 miles. This represents an improving trend in mechanical presentation following a significant failure in early 2024. While the car previously struggled with braking efficiency and suspension integrity, the two most recent tests recorded no defects, indicating that the identified mechanical faults were addressed and the vehicle has entered a stable period. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, moving from 75,487 miles in February 2023 to 102,353 miles in March 2026. There are no unusual gaps in usage between the annual tests. This regularity suggests consistent use rather than long periods of standing stationary, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals and braking components to prevent the corrosion seen in the earlier records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the history shows a recurring pattern of pitted and scored discs. Between 2020 and 2023, the tester consistently flagged wear and corrosion on both front and rear brake discs. The 2024 failure specifically highlighted a binding nearside front brake and fluctuating rear brakes, suggesting a history of caliper sticking or poor piston movement. An inspector should check for uneven pad wear or signs of fluid leakage around calipers to ensure the previous repairs remain effective. The suspension also warrants attention due to the March 2024 failure where both rear shock absorbers showed a negligible damping effect. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent tests, the buyer should check for residual fluid leaks or excessive bouncing during a test drive. Given the previous report of a distorted rear road wheel in 2020, a quick check for lateral vibrations at higher speeds is also advisable to ensure the wheel and hub components remain in good condition.
