2017 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · OY17 WRN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding suspension-related components. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 69,849 miles passed, the tester identified new defects including corroded rear coil springs on both sides and a worn offside front tyre. This represents a progression from minor oil leaks noted in 2024, indicating that the suspension system is reaching the end of its functional life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-average-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles covered between annual tests from 2022 through 2025. This regularity suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which can often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake seals, though the low mileage does not exempt the vehicle from the corrosion seen in the 2025 report. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension to ensure the corrosion on the coil springs has not progressed toward structural failure. The recurring light misting of oil on the shock absorbers noted in both 2024 and 2025 suggests these units are failing and will likely require replacement soon. Furthermore, given that the 2022 test flagged pitted brake discs and thin pads, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the brake friction material to ensure they have been properly serviced since that interval.
