2013 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · KU63 CSO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed its latest test in September 2024 at 123,161 miles, this followed a failure on the same day due to a structural tyre bulge and worn rubber. The persistent presence of a non-excessive oil leak across every test from 2022 to 2024 indicates a chronic sealing issue that has not been proactively addressed by the previous owner. At 123,161 miles over 13 years, the car has averaged approximately 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a family hatchback of this age. The record shows consistent usage, with a 5,150-mile gap recorded between August 2022 and October 2023, and another 11,500 miles between October 2023 and September 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which likely contributes to the wear seen on rubber and mechanical components. A buyer must closely inspect the suspension and braking systems, as the October 2023 failure highlighted significant neglect including a fractured rear coil spring, worn front brake discs, and poor parking brake efficiency. The presence of a deteriorated offside front CV boot in 2023 suggests that drivetrain components are ignored until they reach failure point. Furthermore, the recurring advisories for tyres worn on edges in 2022 and 2024 point to a persistent alignment issue that requires professional rectification to prevent premature replacement of new tyres.
