2021 SEAT Leon FR Sport TSI EVO 1.5L Petrol · ND70 AFU

The 2026‑01‑29 MOT at 26,029 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness; the preceding 2025‑02‑04 failure at 20,461 miles revealed serious shock‑absorber fluid leaks and a tyre structural tear, but the subsequent 2025‑02‑06 test at 20,462 miles showed only a minor wiper‑blade advisory, indicating that the major faults were remedied and the vehicle’s condition has stabilized. Mileage has risen from 15,202 miles in the January 2024 test to 26,029 miles in the January 2026 test, an increase of roughly 10,827 miles over 25 months, or about 5,200 miles per year, which aligns with the low‑average annual usage noted for a five‑year‑old car and suggests regular, moderate driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear shock absorbers for any residual fluid seepage or worn bushes, examine the tyre sidewalls and tread for signs of structural separation, verify the condition of brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and look for corrosion on the chassis, suspension components and exhaust system that could indicate deferred maintenance despite the recent clean MOT.
