2018 SEAT Leon 1.2L Petrol · NIB 7119

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from perfect records to emerging mechanical wear. While the car passed its June 2026 test at 56,406 miles, the tester identified new advisories that were absent in the previous three years of clean-sheet results. The maintenance trend suggests that while the vehicle has been well-maintained in the past, components are now beginning to age and require preventative attention. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 22,898 miles and the June 2026 test at 56,406 miles, the car covered 33,508 miles, showing a steady rate of use. This low-average mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-stress motorway commuting, but it also means that age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids occurs despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the nearside front shock absorber, as the light misting of oil recorded in June indicates a developing seal leak that will eventually lead to total failure. Furthermore, both front tyres are now at the legal limit, with the nearside specifically showing uneven wear which may indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. These items represent immediate outgoing costs to ensure the vehicle maintains safety and handling standards beyond the next test cycle.
