2019 SEAT Leon 1.5L Petrol · YG19 YRO

The vehicle currently presents a state of deteriorating roadworthiness following a failed MOT test on 5 June 2026. While the car maintained a clean record for three consecutive years, the most recent inspection reveals a sudden lapse in preventative maintenance. The transition from a defect-free pass at 36,486 miles in 2025 to multiple points of failure at 40,083 miles suggests that the current owner has neglected to address necessary repairs until the legal inspection deadline. At 40,083 miles, this seven-year-old Leon has covered relatively low mileage, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent between 2023 and 2026, where the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles over three years. However, low mileage often masks component degradation caused by age and stagnation rather than mechanical wear. The recent failure of the offside rear coil spring and thin brake pads indicates that rubber and metal components are reaching the end of their functional life despite the low distance driven. A buyer must prioritize the immediate replacement of the offside rear coil spring, which was flagged as fractured, as this represents a structural safety risk to the suspension geometry. The nearside front tyre shows uneven wear on the edge, which typically indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, the thin rear brake pads are nearing the legal limit and require inspection to ensure the calipers have not begun to seize. The washer fluid deficiency is a minor consumable issue but reinforces the general lack of attention to basic vehicle upkeep.
