Hi Chaps,
Well the time has come that my wife needs to get rid of her trusty Fiesta and get something a bit bigger now that we have an 8 month old. The Fiesta has been doing OK up till now but with it only being a 3 door we figured getting something a bit bigger for a family car was the way to go.
After doing some searching around we'd quite like a small estate car as this will offer us the practicality we're looking for. Top of the list is a 2017+ Seat Leon Estate 1.4 FR Technology DSG (the 1.8 would also work as well). It seems to tick all of the boxes that she would like (auto, practical, pretty good MPG, not too big) and can be had in budget, £18k or less.
I'm very out of touch with modern cars these days but from what I have read about, there doesn't seem to be much that goes wrong with them. Are you guys aware of anything I should look out for? Servicing seems to be every year or 12k, cam-belt and water pump every 5 years and the DSG is a sealed unit so should be OK?
I'm thinking about going to see this (https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202112010137550) at the weekend so any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
W
