2017 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · PL17 GGV

A consistent history of roadworthiness is evident, punctuated by isolated failures for lighting and a CV boot, with the most recent pass on 13 June 2025 recording no defects. While the record shows a cluster of wear-related advisories in early 2024, the subsequent clean test suggests these issues were addressed or have not progressed to a failure point. The overall trend indicates a vehicle that generally meets safety standards, though it has experienced typical component degradation over its lifespan. The recorded mileage of 65,201 miles represents a typical annual accumulation of approximately 7,245 miles for a vehicle of this age. This steady usage pattern suggests a balanced load on the drivetrain and chassis, avoiding the specific mechanical risks associated with prolonged standing or the accelerated wear on consumables and suspension components often found in high-mileage examples. Attention should be directed toward the nearside front shock absorber, which was flagged for oil misting in early 2024. During a test drive, feel for excessive oscillation or a floating sensation over undulations, and listen for knocking sounds when traversing speed bumps. The rear braking system also showed signs of wear in the 2024 record; the buyer should check for any pedal judder or audible squealing during deceleration to confirm the pads have been replaced. The history of a split constant velocity boot on the nearside front drive shaft warrants a check for any current clicking or popping sounds during tight, low-speed manoeuvres. Additionally, previous advisories regarding tyre integrity and the tyre pressure monitoring system light indicate a need to verify that all tyres are now free of cracking and that the dashboard is clear of warning lamps.
