2021 SEAT Leon FR Phev S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · WD21 YWW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a decline in maintenance standards after a period of clean records. While the car passed its May 2026 test at 51,472 miles, it failed the initial presentation due to mechanical and safety defects. The appearance of play in a suspension component and damage to a seat belt suggests that minor wear and tear are beginning to manifest without being proactively addressed prior to the annual test deadline. The mileage profile is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 36,710 miles in August 2024 to 40,205 miles in May 2025, followed by a significant jump of over 11,000 miles in the final year. This rate suggests regular long-distance use, which explains the typical wear on rubber-related components like the ball joints and seat belt assemblies. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, as the tester flagged slight play during the 2026 test. This component requires attention to prevent unpredictable steering or potential failure if left unserviced. Additionally, the offside rear seat belt should be inspected for further fraying; while it passed as a defect, frayed webbing represents a safety risk that will eventually require replacement of the assembly. The headlamp aim was corrected following the failure, but verifying the beam remains within legal limits is a prudent final check.
