Very close to 90k miles, had it from new in September 2002. Black LC (facelift)
Head Gasget blew under warranty - sorted, free of charge.
3 coil packs have gone - replaced free of charge.
The rest, wear & tear - cambelt, water pump, exhaust, etc.
Best mod - Becker radio with bluetooth - totally transformed the audio experience!
Its been very well looked after & the interior considering the mileage is immaculate. With the exterior, well one or two dints from stupid & ignorant motorists unfortunetly.

2001 Leon Cupra with 38k miles on it ... yes only 38k!

Probably not - lol.
I remember years ago Top Gear doing a test with a Golf GTi (or VR6?) that had done 60k miles vs one that had done 20-odd k miles and the 60k one was faster, so I need to do more miles to loosen it off - lol!

17k in 6yrs
In the Air Force she'd be called a Hangar Queen but I know from your forays around knockhill thats definitely not the case.
Leona (God rest her soul) was a 52 plate, she had 58k when I sold her *sob*
I've now got 17.5k on my 05 LCR had it for 2 weeks and done over 1000 already!

Not a leon, but my toledo is just short of 94k miles.
Problems:
Battery (Managed 7 years!)
Door switch doesn't work so car re-locks itself all the time
Suspension bushes (The oil leaked out of rear hydro's)
Farting Stereo
Rusted brakepipe
Aircon regas (Previous owner probably never used it)
Alternator belt and tensioner
Nothing major though!!! touch wood.
The car seems to be quite loud at the minute, but the exhaust isn't leaking. Sounds good though, running REALLY well and no fault codes, so I will leave it as is.
Would I sell it? Nope, if anyone's gonna break it, it will be me
