Description
Selling my 2005 Seat Leon Cupra R Mk1 (BAM 225 engine) - this was my first car, and after 2 great years of ownership, I'm looking to move on to something more sensible. That said, I'm already second-guessing the decision it's a brilliant car and a proper hot hatch icon.
Mechanical & Maintenance:
112,500 miles - mechanically solid and well looked after
MOT valid until 19th August 2025
Stage 1 remap - pulls strong in every gear
Direnza performance air intake (fitted by previous owner)
Upgraded coolant hoses (old rubber ones replaced)
Coolant flushed with VW-spec G12 Evo
New rear brake discs, pads & calipers (fitted last year)
New front discs, pads & wheel bearings (recently done)
4x new tyres and wheel alignment completed
HID headlight upgrade - fixed previous intermittent bulb issue
Note: The exhaust flexi pipe has a crack, causing a louder noise (sounds a bit like a tractor), but it doesn't affect performance.
Condition & Extras:
Drives great - responsive, well-balanced handling
Age-related marks on bodywork (all shown in photos)
Interior: tear on steering wheel and minor wear on seats
OEM cupholder stays open - included is a 3D printed aftermarket cupholder that fits by the handbrake
