2020 SEAT Leon 1.5L Petrol · MT07 THT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred attention to wear items. The most recent test on June 5 2026 at 56,500 miles passed with several advisories regarding thinning front brake pads and discs. While the car passed, the data shows that the front braking system is nearing the end of its functional life. This follows a pattern where the owner only addresses issues once they approach failure thresholds or legal limits, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage progression is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 28,742 miles and the June 2025 test at 42,414 miles, the car covered over 13,000 miles, representing a standard usage profile. The sharp failure in June 2025 at 42,411 miles highlights that while the mileage is typical, specific components like tyres and shock absorbers are reaching replacement intervals uneven intervals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking components. The offside rear shock absorber progressed from light misting in 2024 to a serious fluid leak by 2025; the buyer must verify this was actually replaced and is not currently leaking again. Furthermore, the front brake discs and pads flagged in the June 2026 test will require immediate replacement to avoid damage to the rotors. The recurring advisories for worn tyre edges in 2025 also suggest a wheel alignment check is necessary to prevent premature wear on any new tyres fitted.
