I'm in the market for a low mileage 13/14 plate and am just wondering if it's possible to get an example where the seat bolsters aren't completely creased? Some dealerships have advised it's not possible due to the type of leather?

Alfadude

Yes, it is POSSIBLE. Likely? That might be another story. If it is real leather there is always going to be some evidence of use if it always stressed in the same spot. How much depends on the person, their size, the clothes they wear, how they sit in the seat, etc. Sounds like you want a car where the seats look brand new. You could always get new leather on the seat if you are that sensitive to it. But, assuming you will be driving the car it won't be long before there are marks in there from you as well.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it will have some signs if wear but just really wondering how common it is to see bad wear.

Alfadude

That is all dependent on the user. And on how well the leather is taken care of If it is never cleaned or allowed to dry out then you will get splits and cracking. If well taken care of there wil be creases, but no cracks, just a nice patina. Good leather can last a long long time if well taken care of.

What's your opinion on the condition of the seats in the pic mate? It's a 13 plate.

Alfadude

Not the best picture, but it looks fine to me. Pretty much how I would expect a 5-6 year old seat to look.
