2016 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · YF66 AEC

The SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 17 December 2025 at 137,744 miles which recorded a pass with no defects. Prior tests on 13 December 2024 at 131,291 miles and 29 November 2023 at 121,132 miles also passed cleanly, showing no advisories or mechanical faults carried forward across the three most recent annual examinations. The recorded mileage of 137,744 against a 2016 build equates to an above-average annual use of roughly 13,774 miles. The odometer advanced from 102,824 on 6 December 2022 to 121,130 by 28 November 2023, then to 131,291 by December 2024 and 137,744 by December 2025, a consistent yearly accumulation near 10,000 to 18,000 miles with no standing periods or sparse gaps. The lone blemish is a failed test on 28 November 2023 at 121,130 miles, reversed the next day on 29 November 2023 at 121,132 miles with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair requirement. Given the clean advisory history across five years of testing, the MOT record itself raises no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion concerns for the buyer. The high mileage does imply accumulated wear on consumable items such as brake discs, coil springs, and suspension bushes not yet flagged by testers. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm structural integrity underneath, check for exhaust emissions consistency, and assess tyre tread depth and wiper condition given the vehicle's extended motorway-style use.
