2016 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · CY66 ADX

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 May 2025 at 47,002 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across the last five annual tests indicates that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, avoiding the mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger recalls. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging 4,700 miles per annum. Between May 2021 and May 2025, the car covered 16,117 miles, showing a consistent pattern of light usage rather than erratic bursts of mileage. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows only 5,106 miles, which suggests a steady and predictable driving habit. This low mileage generally implies that wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly remains below the market average for similar high-mileage examples. While the MOT history is exemplary, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage or stationary periods. Inspect the rubber perish, such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls, for cracking which occurs when a vehicle is not driven frequently. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, as infrequent use can lead to oxidation on the rotors. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of the fluids and the integrity of the timing belt remains essential to ensure the low-mileage status has not masked internal material degradation.
