Our Verdict
A low-mileage example that requires care
Prioritise checking the service records to confirm that the shock absorbers and the distorted wheel rim identified in the 2024 MOT were replaced or repaired. Given the recent December 2025 advisory regarding the offside front lower suspension arm bush, you should use this as a negotiation point for a price reduction or request that the part be replaced before purchase.
Verify the current state of the rear brake pads, as these were flagged as wearing thin in the most recent test. Ensure that the vehicle has a complete service history, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from neglected fluid changes if they are not driven frequently.
The 1498cc TSI EVO engine provides a balance of performance and efficiency, falling within the Euro 6 DG emissions standard. Tax and insurance will be moderate for this insurance group and engine size, though petrol costs will vary based on annual usage.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically standard for the VW Group, but the MOT data suggests a propensity for suspension and tyre wear. Expected annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are estimated to be between £1,200 and £1,500.
Pay close attention to the suspension system. The MOT history shows a failure for both rear shock absorbers in 2024 and a more recent advisory for the offside front lower suspension arm bush; a professional inspection of all bushings and dampers is recommended. Check the alloy wheels for any remaining distortion or curb damage, referencing the previous failure for a distorted rim.
Inspect all four tyres for uneven wear or sidewall damage, as the vehicle has a history of tyres being worn close to the legal limit and one recorded cut in the sidewall. Finally, check the thickness of the rear brake pads to determine if they now require replacement.
This 2019 SEAT Leon FR Black Edition has covered just 25,197 miles as of December 2025, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT history includes one failure in April 2024 involving shock absorber leaks and a distorted wheel rim, alongside recent advisories for worn suspension bushes and thin brake pads. It is a Euro 6 DG petrol vehicle in the desirable Black Edition specification.
The SEAT Leon has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 88.8%, with common failure points typically relating to tyres, shock absorbers, and coil springs.
