2019 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · SH19 PBF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend has shifted from a clean history to requiring immediate consumable attention. In the most recent test conducted on 22 August 2025 at 40,676 miles, the car passed despite several advisories that were absent in previous years. These issues included the nearside and offside front tyres approaching the legal limit with uneven wear, alongside thin rear brake pads and pitted, scored discs. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in testing between October 2022 at 11,190 miles and August 2024 at 26,565 miles, representing a period where over 15,000 miles were covered in just 22 months. This low-frequency usage suggests the car has been used for short trips, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake hardware despite low odometer readings. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the braking system, as the August 2025 report flagged both thin pads and worn discs that likely require replacement to ensure optimal stopping performance. The edge wear noted on the front tyres indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes which should be verified to prevent premature wear of any new rubber. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for signs of fluid leaks or perished rubber components that can occur when vehicles remain stationary for extended periods.
