2009 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · KV09 TNX

The roadworthiness status of this vehicle remains unverified due to a significant gap in testing history. The last recorded test on 7 September 2021 at 115,508 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. However, because no tests have occurred for nearly five years, the current mechanical condition of the vehicle is unknown. A clean record from five years ago does not account for the degradation that typically occurs over this long interval. The recorded mileage of 115,508 miles over seventeen years reflects an average usage of approximately 6,800 miles per annum. This is consistent with low-use patterns for a vehicle of this age. While lower mileage suggests less wear on drivetrain components, the lack of a valid MOT since 2021 indicates the car may have sat stationary for extended periods or fallen out of use. Stationary vehicles often suffer from specific issues such as perished rubber components, seized calipers, and internal corrosion that mileage alone does not prevent. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components before purchase. Given the age of the SEAT Leon, the inspector should check for significant corrosion on the sills, floor pans, and rear mounting points. Because the vehicle has not been tested in years, it is vital to examine the brake lines for corrosion and the suspension bushes for cracking. Checking the tyres for age rot and fluid leaks is also essential to ensure the vehicle has not deteriorated during its documented period of inactivity.
