2020 SEAT Leon SE Dynamic TSI EVO 1.0L Petrol · YK70 CST

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a consistent pass history, showing a stable trend despite minor mechanical observations. The most recent test in September 2025 at 62,040 miles resulted in a pass, though it noted a persistent light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber. This specific issue was also flagged during the 2024 test, indicating the component is degrading slowly but has not yet reached a point of catastrophic failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,340 miles per annum. The record shows a clear progression of 15,374 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 16,470 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regular usage suggests consistent operation rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of seals and mechanical components within the drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension to ensure the misting shock has not progressed into a significant leak requiring replacement. The 2024 advisory regarding both the nearside front and nearside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit with edge wear suggests potential past alignment issues or uneven pressure. You should verify the current tyre tread depths and check for irregular wear to ensure the previous owner addressed the issues identified in that specific test.
