2013 SEAT Leon 1.2L Petrol · KU63 CFG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness status of Pass, but the maintenance history reveals a distinct trend of instability rather than stability or improvement. The most recent test from April 2025 resulted in a Pass at 108,733 miles, yet this date was only six months prior to the current date, indicating that the previous year of testing was likely conducted in a state of disrepair or at least with significant wear that has not yet been resolved. This gap between the 2025 test and the present suggests that the car has not maintained its mechanical integrity since late 2023, where a failure occurred at 78,611 miles on a Pass test. The failure in the March 2024 test at 91,687 miles, followed by a Pass in the March 2023 test at 78,611 miles, indicates that the mechanical condition deteriorated significantly over the preceding months. This pattern of passing in the most recent test while failing in the one immediately preceding it demonstrates that the vehicle's structural integrity has not remained stable, nor is it improving; rather, it has been chronically compromised. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 13 years old with a total of 108,733 miles recorded. While the mileage per year is consistent with its age, the data is not clean. The gap between the 2025 test and the 2024 test creates a significant discrepancy in the vehicle's age estimation, as the 2024 test was conducted only six months after the 2025 test. Furthermore, the mileage accumulation is not uniform; the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage growth in the previous year, which can indicate accelerated wear on specific components such as suspension bushings, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. This rapid growth in the last year suggests that the car may be experiencing accelerated wear patterns typical of a vehicle with a history of mechanical stress, moving the risk of a future failure from a minor consumable wear to a serious structural risk. Consequently, a buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection to assess the mechanical condition of the suspension and braking systems, which are the most common failure points in vehicles of this age. Given the history of a failure at 78,611 miles in March 2024, the car likely has binding rear brakes, binding suspension bushings, or severe corrosion of the exhaust system. The presence of a Pass in the April 2025 test at 108,733 miles suggests that the brakes and suspension may have been inspected during this test but failed in the previous year. A buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs, check for corrosion on the exhaust manifold, and inspect the suspension components for binding or excessive play. If the brakes appear to be in good condition but the suspension is compromised, the car's roadworthiness is likely to be reduced by a substantial margin due to the risk of sudden failure, which could lead to an accident.
