2017 SEAT Leon SE Dynamic Technology TDI 1.6L Diesel · SC17 VUS

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with 80,636 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as the recurring failures identified in late 2023 and 2024 have been addressed. The transition to a clean test sheet indicates that the previous owner took action to rectify the mechanical issues that previously caused the vehicle to fail. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The record shows a significant interval of 14,730 miles between the 2023 test (55,259 miles) and the 2024 test (69,989 miles), followed by another 10,647 miles before the December 2025 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation which generally benefits rubber components and seals. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the rear shock absorbers, as these components were flagged for oil misting across three consecutive tests starting in November 2023. While the 2025 pass suggests the leak has not worsened or was replaced, the persistent nature of this fault indicates a potential for future suspension wear. Additionally, verify the front tyres and wiper blades, as the history shows previous neglect regarding tread depth and wiper performance, which points to reactive rather than proactive consumable maintenance.
