2020 SEAT Leon FR Black Edition TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · MM69 WPD

The 2025-12-19 MOT at 62,084 miles confirms the SEAT Leon remains roadworthy, yet the presence of a light misting of oil on the near side front shock absorbers (5.3.2 (b)) signals a developing suspension fault that has persisted from the 2024-12-19 test, indicating a modest worsening trend rather than stable or improving maintenance. The mileage trajectory shows consistent use: 26,340 miles in January 2023, rising to 37,168 miles by January 2024 (10,828 miles in 11 months), then to 49,692 miles by December 2024 (12,524 miles in 11 months) and finally to 62,084 miles by December 2025 (12,392 miles in 11 months), reflecting an annual average close to the 10,347‑mile benchmark for a six‑year‑old vehicle and suggesting no prolonged periods of standing. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, inspecting the near side front shock absorber for oil leakage, checking the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs, and verifying that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the brake discs show even wear. The inspection must also include a thorough assessment of structural integrity for corrosion along the chassis rails and floor pans, a review of tyre tread depth given the high annual mileage, and a verification that the registration plates, while not failing the test, are not deteriorating to the point of obscuring characters.
