2013 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · KW13 BWB

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state following a clean pass in the February 2026 test at 127,175 miles. This represents a stable maintenance trend immediately following a significant structural failure in late 2022. Since that failure, the car has undergone three consecutive inspections without recorded defects or advisories, suggesting that the previous owner addressed the critical issues and maintained a consistent standard of care thereafter. The mileage profile remains consistent with typical annual use for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 10,758 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage patterns. There are no unexplained gaps in the records that would suggest the vehicle sat stationary for long periods, which reduces the likelihood of seized brake calipers or perished perished rubber components that often lead to intermittent mechanical faults. The primary concern in this vehicle's history remains the November 2022 failure at 116,314 miles, where the offside front outer sill was found holed by corrosion, compromising structural rigidity. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the affected area to ensure the repair was structurally sound and that corrosion is not migrating to adjacent chassis members. Given the high mileage, the inspection should also focus on suspension bushes and control arm bolts for signs of wear, though the lack of recent advisories in the last three tests suggests these components are currently in acceptable condition.
