2014 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · LM64 AAO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record in its most recent inspection. The September 2025 test at 72,898 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. While the car has faced minor component failures in the past, the lack of advisories or failures in the last two years indicates a consistent standard of upkeep. The mileage accumulation remains remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 23,285 miles in October 2017 to the current 72,898 miles in September 2025. This pattern suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial usage. The incremental increases between annual tests show no signs of sudden high-mileage bursts that typically accelerate wear on the drivetrain or suspension. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and front suspension components. The September 2024 test at 68,275 miles identified an offside rear service brake binding, which implies the owner likely serviced the caliper or cleared the mechanism to achieve the subsequent pass. The history also shows recurring issues with the offside front shock absorbers in 2018 and 2019, noting light oil misting. Although these issues appear resolved, a physical inspection of the dampers for any signs of weeping or damping degradation is advisable. Finally, check the condition of the front brake pads and tyres, as the 2017 record flagged thinning pads and a cut tyre. While these are standard consumable items, ensuring the current set meets depth requirements is a necessary precaution. The overall mechanical trend is positive, moving from minor component wear toward a clean, defect-free status.
