2017 SEAT Leon 1.2L Petrol · NG17 AEC

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT status following its most recent test on 18 May 2026 at 89,963 miles. This recent pass suggests an improving maintenance trend, as the tester recorded no defects, effectively clearing the advisory items noted in the previous year. The vehicle appears to have been brought up to a standard of roadworthiness that addresses the previous issues with braking components and washer functionality. The mileage accumulation of 89,963 miles over approximately nine years averages roughly 10,000 miles per year. This represents a consistent and typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age, suggesting regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity. The data shows a steady progression from 59,249 miles in September 2023 to 89,963 miles in May 2026, indicating a predictable driving profile that avoids the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commercial use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as this has been a recurring area of concern. The 2023 test flagged pitted or scored rear brake discs, and the October 2025 test identified thinning pads and worn discs on both the nearside and offside rear. While the May 2026 test shows no current defects, the history of binding and imbalance noted in September 2024 suggests the braking hardware has undergone significant wear. It is advisable to check the thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs to ensure the recent repairs were comprehensive. The record also highlights minor cosmetic and consumable issues, such as the dented nearside rear outer wing noted in October 2025 and previous tyre wear issues in September 2023. While the tyre wear on the inner edges in 2023 might suggest previous alignment or suspension bush issues, the most recent clean certificate implies these have been addressed. A thorough check of the suspension components and tyre tread patterns would confirm that the vehicle's handling remains stable.
