2009 SEAT Leon 1.9L Diesel · WN59 MRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the September 2025 test at 131,039 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance pattern shows a stabilisation after a series of failures between 2020 and 2024. The most recent test follows a 2024 advisory on offside front tyre wear close to the legal limit, indicating that basic consumable upkeep has been addressed but the tyre condition remains a concern. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the car’s age, averaging roughly 7,700 miles per year over 17 years. MOT entries are annual and recent, with the last three tests occurring within the past 12 months, confirming regular compliance checks. No substantial gaps appear in the record, and the data is clean enough to assess trends without ambiguity. A buyer should inspect the brakes for pad thickness and disc condition, given repeated thin‑pad advisories in 2020, 2022 and a 2024 tyre warning. Front tyre tread depth and even wear should be verified, as the history shows inner‑edge wear in 2024 and edge wear in 2021. The suspension warrants close examination; the 2020 failures highlighted dust‑cover breaches on both front upper anti‑roll bar linkages, suggesting possible ingress of dirt and early joint wear. The exhaust system and emissions controls need checking, having failed on multiple occasions in 2020 and 2023. Finally, a thorough visual scan for corrosion or rust on the chassis, floor panels and underbody is advisable given the vehicle’s age and mileage.
