2013 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · LS63 XNR

The 2026‑07‑18 MOT at 131,489 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. Since the 2024‑07‑27 failure, which listed misting shock absorbers, worn rear brake pads and sub‑standard brake and parking brake efficiencies, the vehicle has been corrected and has passed subsequent tests in 2025 and 2026, showing a stable maintenance trend. The mileage has risen from 68,214 miles in October 2016 to 131,489 miles in July 2026, an average annual increase of roughly 6,300 miles, consistent with the typical 10,000‑mile‑per‑year usage for a 13‑year‑old SEAT Leon. No large gaps appear in the record; the 2024‑07‑27 failure at 118,784 miles was followed by a retest three days later at 118,788 miles, demonstrating prompt remediation. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension system for oil leakage and worn dampers, examine the condition of the rear brake pads and discs for wear and any binding calipers, and verify brake efficiency and parking brake performance. Particular attention must be given to the rear wheel arches and chassis for corrosion, especially where the 2018 MOT noted perishing tyre walls, and to the tyre wear pattern indicated by the 2022 tracking recommendation, which may reveal alignment or suspension issues.
