2019 SEAT Leon 1.5L Petrol · YG19 YRC

The most recent MOT on 21 April 2026 at 45,301 miles returned a pass, though the tester flagged a worn nearside front lower suspension arm pin or bush. This advisory represents the first mechanical defect recorded across five consecutive annual tests since 2022. The overall maintenance trajectory shows sustained compliance with roadworthiness standards, with no failures or repeat advisories accumulating. The single suspension advisory at the latest test introduces a modest concern that warrants monitoring, but does not yet indicate systemic neglect. Annual mileage has remained remarkably consistent, with the odometer advancing by roughly 1,800 to 2,600 miles between 2023 and 2025, then accelerating to approximately 8,800 miles between 2025 and 2026. The pronounced jump from 20,988 miles in June 2022 to 33,259 miles by June 2023 suggests either a change in ownership patterns or correction of previously restricted use. The vehicle's seven-year average of approximately 6,472 miles per year sits within normal parameters for a vehicle of this class, though the recent usage spike means wear on consumables and drivetrain components may now be accelerating. The 2022 test at 20,988 miles revealed multiple simultaneous tyre condition issues across all four corners, alongside a low engine oil level and an illuminated TPMS warning. Four tyres showing cracking or perishing damage at once strongly suggests the vehicle had been standing for extended periods or had suffered inadequate maintenance. The absence of repeat tyre advisories since 2022 indicates this issue was subsequently addressed. No corrosion, brake, or emissions defects appear anywhere in the record. A prospective buyer should prioritise inspection of the nearside front lower suspension arm and its bush, given the fresh 2026 advisory. The TPMS fault and oil level concern from 2022 have not resurfaced, though verifying current sensor functionality and oil consumption patterns remains prudent. Tyre age and condition demand close attention given the historical cracking issue, particularly if the recent mileage increase has been sustained. Brake discs and pads should be assessed for wear commensurate with the elevated annual distance. The clean emissions record and absence of structural corrosion advisories provide reasonable confidence in the vehicle's underlying integrity.
