2019 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · SP69 UHD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 145,943 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior due to lighting issues including headlamp aim and a defective reflector. The trend shows that faults are only addressed once they reach a point of failure, suggesting that the owner performs the minimum legal requirements to keep the car on the road rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging over 20,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between July 2024 at 103,385 miles and July 2025 at 138,166 miles, where the car covered nearly 35,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation puts immense strain on wear items, which is reflected in the frequent reports of deteriorating tyres and suspension components across the last three inspections. A buyer must scrutinize the suspension system, as the record shows light misting of oil on the nearside rear shock absorber dating back to 2024, with the offside front also noted in 2024. The braking system shows clear signs of neglect; the July 2025 failure cited front brake pads under the 1.5mm limit alongside pitted and scored discs. Given the history of bald inner edges on the front tyres, a professional wheel alignment check is essential to determine if the high mileage has caused structural tracking or uneven wear on steering geometry components.
