2017 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · PE67 KXH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 82,163 miles flagged advisories for thin nearside rear brake pads and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. This follows a multi-year trend where brake pads and tyres are repeatedly identified as being worn to the limit across every annual inspection. While the car passes its tests, the recurring faults suggest the previous owner only addressed components once they reached the point of failure. The mileage profile is consistent, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year which is typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. There is a notable gap in the records between December 2022 and January 2024, where the car covered 10,111 miles in just thirteen months. Since then, the usage has remained steady, with roughly 31,000 miles covered over the last two and half years. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used for regular commuting, which explains the consistent wear observed on consumable items like brakes and rubber. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension, as the offside front shock absorber showed oil misting back in 2022 at 51,015 miles and needs to be checked if this has progressed into a significant leak. The recurring mention of uneven tyre wear on the edges also indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require a professional diagnostic check. Given the persistent history of thin brake pads across both axles, a thorough inspection of the brake discs is essential to ensure they have not been scored or thinned by operating with worn pads for extended periods.
