2019 SEAT Leon FR Black Edition TSI EVO 1.5L Petrol · YK69 WPD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding the suspension and tyre management. In the most recent test in April 2026 at 67,659 miles, the tester flagged front shock absorbers with light misting of oil and front tyres worn close to the legal limit. While the car passed, the persistent presence of oil misting across multiple years indicates that the shock dampers are nearing the end of their functional life and will soon require replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 44,977 miles in September 2022 to 67,659 miles in April 2026. This regular use suggests the car has been driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though the recurring tyre advisories suggest that the previous owners frequently neglected to address wear items before they reached critical failure thresholds. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, as the misting noted in 2024, 2025, and 2026 has moved from the rear units to the front. The recurring failures for tyres being worn on the edges in both 2022, 2023, and 2026 strongly suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been rectified. You must also verify the tread depth across all four tyres immediately, as the front set is likely requiring replacement shortly after purchase.
