2017 SEAT Leon 2.0L Petrol · NV17 PZR

The 2017 SEAT Leon presents a clean bill of health on paper. The most recent MOT on 4 June 2026 returned a pass with zero defects at 108,660 miles, and the preceding tests in May 2025 and June 2024 were equally clear. This is a stable, well-maintained record. No recurring mechanical or structural faults have surfaced, and the vehicle has not developed any of the corrosion or emissions failures common on older hatchbacks. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of sustained high use. Between the April 2024 test at 88,102 miles and the June 2026 test at 108,660 miles, the car covered 20,558 miles in just over two years, averaging roughly 9,500 miles annually during that period. Earlier, between April 2023 and April 2024, the car added 12,623 miles. The 11,431-mile jump between June 2024 and May 2025 confirms consistent, above-average annual use throughout. This is not a car that sat idle. High mileage at this age places accelerated wear on consumables, suspension bushes, brake components, and drivetrain mounts, all of which demand closer physical inspection despite the clean MOT record. The only defects in the entire history relate to tyre wear. In April 2024, both front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, suggesting possible tracking misalignment or aggressive driving. In April 2023, both rear tyres received the same advisory. These are minor consumable items, not structural concerns, but the pattern of edge wear on both axles warrants a physical check of wheel alignment and suspension geometry. Uneven tyre wear at this mileage can indicate worn tracking arm bushes or incorrect camber settings that a visual inspection would confirm. A prospective buyer should focus on the mechanical components that high-mileage use accelerates. Inspect the front and lower suspension arms for play, check the condition of coil springs and dampers for leaks or sag, and examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear. The exhaust system, particularly the flexi-joint and catalytic converter, should be inspected for corrosion and emissions performance. Given the clean MOT history, there is no evidence of structural rust or subframe deterioration, but a thorough underbody inspection remains prudent on a vehicle that has covered nearly 110,000 miles in nine years.
