Is a used Seat Leon estate reliable?
The current Leon Estate was too new to feature in the 2021 What Car? Reliability Survey, but its predecessor, in family car form, did. In petrol guise, it managed a 10th place finish out of 24 cars in the family car class. The diesel version came 11th.
Seat as a brand performed rather averagely, finishing in 17th place out of 30 manufacturers.
