2010 SEAT Leon 1.2L Petrol · ML60 WSN

The 2010 SEAT Leon currently holds a valid MOT certificate, having passed its most recent test on 20 April 2023 at 98,430 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the tester finding no faults during the last three successful tests. A peculiar anomaly exists on the same day in April 2023, where a test at 98,428 miles registered a failure despite no defects being logged, immediately followed by a pass two miles later. This indicates a minor, swiftly rectified issue rather than a recurring mechanical fault. Accumulating 98,430 miles over sixteen years equates to roughly 6,152 miles annually, a notably low figure that typically reflects light, local use. The chronological data reveals a sharp shift in driving patterns. Between May 2021 at 67,387 miles and April 2022 at 78,738 miles, the Leon covered 11,351 miles. This accelerated dramatically over the following eleven months, adding 19,332 miles to reach 98,430 miles by April 2023. Since that last test, the recorded mileage has remained static for over three years, indicating either long-term storage or untested use on the road. Given the absence of recorded defects, the primary concern lies in the three-year gap since the last inspection and the rapid mileage increase prior to it. A buyer must physically inspect the tyres for sidewall perishing or flat spots, which commonly develop when a vehicle stands unused. Brake discs and calipers require close examination for surface corrosion or binding, conditions that can arise during prolonged inactivity or from the heavy braking associated with high-mileage driving. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for deterioration, while the exhaust system and underbody demand scrutiny for corrosion and structural integrity, as the age of the vehicle makes these components susceptible to decay regardless of the mileage.
