2020 SEAT Leon 2.0L Petrol · YF69 OTX

This 2020 SEAT LEON passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 with 28,245 miles recorded, but is showing a pattern of brake and tyre wear that warrants careful inspection before purchase. The vehicle's mileage sits well below the typical annual average for a six-year-old car. At roughly 4,700 miles per year, this suggests either very light use or extended periods of standing between drives. Low mileage can be positive for overall wear and tear, but it can also mask problems that emerge when vehicles are not regularly used—such as corrosion, fluid degradation, and brake or fuel system issues from inactivity. Brake wear is the most concerning recurring issue in this history. In January 2025, the MOT noted front brake discs that were worn, pitted, and scored but not seriously weakened. One year later, in January 2026, the brakes were not flagged as an advisory, but the offside front tyre is now worn close to the legal limit on the edge, which often indicates alignment or suspension geometry problems. In January 2024, the rear brake discs and pads showed similar wear patterns, with a nail also present in a rear tyre. This track record suggests the braking system has not been comprehensively serviced or replaced; instead, advisories are appearing and disappearing as components marginally pass each test. The tyre wear pattern is also significant.
