2015 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · TN02 AMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass in October 2025 at 98,426 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the vehicle demonstrated a reactive repair pattern during the August 2025 test at 98,370 miles, it failed due to a fractured offside rear coil spring and an insecure back box heat shield. These issues were rectified promptly, as evidenced by the subsequent pass with no further defects. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression of use, with roughly 2,700 miles covered between August 2023 and July 2024, and another 5,700 miles between July 2024 and August 2025. This regular interval suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which generally benefits the health of rubber-based components and brake-related seals. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension geometry, given the previous failure of the rear coil spring. The buyer should check the remaining suspension springs for signs of surface corrosion or stress fractures, as well as the condition of the bushes. The advisory regarding the nearside front tyre wear in August 2023 indicates a potential alignment issue or uneven wear, so verifying the current tyre wear pattern is necessary to ensure the steering is not pulling. Finally, the exhaust system and heat shielding should be checked for any residual rattling to ensure the structural integrity of the assembly remains sound despite the previous failure.
