2015 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · P5 KSV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as the most recent MOT entry in June 2026 was passed on 121,197 miles with no recorded defects. However, the MOT history reveals a clear deterioration trend since the 2025 test, where the vehicle failed on 111,064 miles due to a minor exhaust leak and insufficient washer liquid. This indicates that while the engine and suspension passed earlier, the mechanical integrity of the rear brakes and exhaust system has degraded over the past year, suggesting a lack of basic upkeep or a shift in driving habits. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 11 years old with roughly 11,000 miles per year. The data is relatively clean in the first two years of service, showing consistent passing ratings from 2026 to 2024, but the gap between the 2025 and 2024 tests highlights a significant accumulation of wear. The rapid mileage increase since the 2025 failure suggests that the vehicle has not been maintained for at least two years, which would typically require a full brake overhaul and wheel alignment. Given the recurring faults in the rear brake pads and discs, the buyer must inspect the suspension bushings and coil springs for wear, check the binding calipers for excessive play, and verify the brake discs for corrosion or scoring. A thorough inspection is required to assess the structural integrity of the chassis and exhaust components, as the minor exhaust leak and washer issues indicate that the vehicle has not been serviced for over a year, creating a high risk of future failure.
