Got chance to go have a look at an 07 reg car with 55k miles on it, they want a fairly reasonable price for it, however 8 owners does seem a little scary, however thinking about it, assuming it has receipts/paperwork for all works carried out then it wouldn't be as bad as it sounds?
How many previous owners is too many?

I think 8 owners would raise my eyebrow on a car like that, almost a new owner a year.
However if there's paperwork for each service etc it may not be as bad as it seems. Edit, just noticed 55k low for a diesel that age, you would think some of those owners would put miles on it.
That's what I thought, if paperwork goes in favour of servicing and mot's and whatnot and nothing drastic then I wouldn't personally see an issue, suppose it's like saying I wouldn't want a future with that woman as she's been with a few fellas before me
It doesn't really bother you does it...

I think the one thing about this car though, is it is not exactly rare.
It would be interesting to see the breakdown per mileage each person has done, but with what it is I would likely put it toward the bottom of the list!

I can't think of a reason I'd be comfortable with why nobody kept a Seat Leon diesel either:
a) More than a year
b) Long enough to do anything other than low mileage in it.
Most strange.

If they couldn't afford the car then they definitely couldn't afford to maintain it.
It's a seat Leon, not a Ferrari 355walk away and find another! IS not like it's extremely cheap or something, you said reasonably priced so others will be around at that price.
Weirdly the price they are asking, the others I've seen are either 30k higher miles or the lower spec which I've had before so don't fancy it again

A high number of owners on something like a Type R wouldn't cause me any concern.
In fact, it's just the type of car you'd buy, enjoy driving for half a year in the summer then flog it and move onto something else. It's a classic "fun to drive but difficult to live with" car for most people.
