2017 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · YB67 YAW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a stable trend of developing mechanical wear. The most recent test on May 7, 2025 at 116,378 miles shows a pass despite notes regarding thinning front brake pads and a persistent front oil leak. While the car consistently passes its inspections, the recurrence of the oil leak across multiple years suggests that the owner has opted to monitor the issue rather than perform a root cause repair. At 116,378 miles over nine years, this SEAT Leon has averaged approximately 13,000 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a passenger car. The mileage accumulation shows consistent usage, with 529 miles recorded between March 2024 and May 2025, and another 464 miles between November 2023 and March 2024. This high-frequency use places significant demand on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, which is reflected in the mechanical faults noted throughout the record. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the front suspension and sealing integrity. The records show a history of misting shock absorbers starting in late 2023 and progressing to a worn front suspension arm bush by early 2024. These components should be checked for excessive play or further degradation that could lead to handling instability. Furthermore, the persistent front oil leak noted since at least March 2024, requires a close look to determine if it is a minor gasket seep or a more significant seal failure that could lead to engine damage if left unaddressed.
