2016 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · WL66 ABK

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 7 January 2026 at 134,510 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable condition at that time. However, this clean bill of health contrasts sharply with earlier trends, as multiple failures and advisories were noted in previous years, suggesting intermittent maintenance issues rather than consistent upkeep. Mileage has increased rapidly, from 52,140 miles in December 2020 to 134,510 miles in January 2026, representing an average annual increase of approximately 13,800 miles over the past five years. This rate exceeds typical usage and points to potentially vigorous use or frequent long-distance travel. Notably, there is a significant gap between the November 2021 and December 2022 tests, during which mileage rose from 72,519 to 92,496 miles, implying either extended periods of inactivity followed by high-mileage recovery drives or limited MOT testing frequency. Prospective buyers should examine the front tyres closely, particularly the inner edges and sidewalls, given recurring wear and damage noted as early as 2024 and 2025, which may indicate alignment issues, underinflation, or suspension wear. The brake system, especially the rear calipers, warrants inspection for residual binding, as noted in the 2022 test. Additionally, check the headlamp alignment and assess overall body condition for signs of corrosion or structural fatigue, particularly around the rear wheels and wheel arches, to confirm no hidden deterioration has developed since the last MOT.
