2021 SEAT Leon FR Etsi S-A 1.5L Hybrid electric · SY21 MKA

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern regarding consumable component management. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 53,500 miles passed, the tester flagged an advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit of 2.55mm. This follows a similar issue from February 2025 at 37,156 miles, where the offside front tyre was noted as being at 2.67mm. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical light-use patterns, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. The vehicle covered 11,889 miles between the February 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 16,344 miles in the following year. This recent increase in annual mileage explains the rapid appearance of worn tyres compared to the clean record seen in the 2024 test at 25,267 miles, which suggested the car was in peak mechanical condition earlier in its life. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the alignment and suspension geometry, as the recurring wear on the edges of the tyres suggests potential tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The February 2026 inspection also noted that a rear child seat obstructed a full inspection of the adult seatbelts, meaning these critical safety components were not fully verified. Ensure the belts are checked for fraying or proper retraction function to confirm that no hidden damage was missed during the restricted MOT test.
