2010 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · YF10 WLC

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT but the maintenance trend shows a concerning failure to address recurring mechanical faults. While it passed the latest test in April 2026 at 108,380 miles, it failed that same test due to an ABS fault and tyre-related issues. The persistence of the ABS warning lamp across both the 2025 and 2026 failed tests indicates that the previous owner opted to bypass a safety defect rather than perform the necessary repairs. At 108,380 miles over 16 years, the car averages approximately 6,774 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern with roughly 4,000 miles driven between March 2024 and April 2025, and another 4,100 miles covered between April 2025 and April 2026. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not been neglected, but the recurring advisories suggest a decline in proactive maintenance regarding safety-critical components. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the ABS system, as the fault has remained unresolved for two testing cycles. This could indicate a faulty wheel speed sensor, a wiring issue, or a more expensive ABS pump failure. The 2026 test also noted light misting on the offside rear shock absorber. While not yet a failure, oil misting signifies a failing seal that will eventually lead to component degradation. The history shows the nearside front tyre was flagged for being worn on the edge in both 2025 and 2026. This specific wear pattern often suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. Any prospective buyer should check the remaining tread on all tyres and inspect the front suspension geometry for excessive play to ensure the uneven wear has not caused deeper structural damage.
