    Welcome the site mate 🙂

    Not too sure what to look for on the TDi front if I’m honest mate, obviously the usual bits and bobs – paint/drive quality/interior etc… But other than that I can’t really help ya!

    Hello there mate a common fault with all the leons whatever spec is door seals leaking.

    Just have a check round all the door seals for any signs of water/water damage.
    Also check footweels for any dampness that can occour from this. You can also slightly pull back the seal where it meets the kick plate pannel and look or any water/ waterdamage.
    If you do find any door seals damaged its not a big job changeing them but just make sure you adjust your price. Id say try to knock off about 25-40 per seal.

    If i think of anything else i will let you know

    Also i used this site when buying my Leon. You have to sign up and takes a lil bit of messing around but after that there is quite alot of model spesfic common faults on there which i found very handy when buying.

    Hello fella, hope it all went well! For reference, the clutch is normally a good thing to check, make sure its not slipping really, and that the correct oil has been used as the PD engine has specific oil 🙂
