2016 SEAT Leon 2.0L Diesel · AF16 AZD

The 2016 SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 84,861 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests show no advisories or recurring faults. The vehicle's history indicates consistent statutory compliance and no escalating mechanical concerns over the observed period. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,486 miles per year. The records show steady accumulation: 68,273 miles in June 2022, 75,086 miles by July 2023, 80,596 miles in June 2024, and 84,861 miles in June 2025. A single anomaly appears in June 2023 when the car failed on 23 June at 74,871 miles yet passed eleven days later at 75,086 miles with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair-driven retest. The clean advisory profile across all passes means the MOT record raises no flags on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The absence of noted wear implies previous owners kept basic consumables within limits, though the 2023 fail with no recorded defect warrants a check of the original refusal reason via DVSA channels. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, and verify the condition of tyres and braking components despite no tester advisories. Given the sparse but clean history, in-person checks of coil springs and caliper operation remain prudent before purchase.
