2016 SEAT Leon 1.2L Petrol · FH16 GWN

The 2016 SEAT Leon presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 27,939 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt four days earlier on 3 November 2025 at the same mileage where the tester logged no defects. That earlier failure with a clean sheet points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass confirms the car cleared the MOT standard. Recorded mileage sits at 27,939 miles over roughly ten years, an average of about 2,794 miles per year. The DVSA data shows steady low accumulation: 18,852 miles on 25 November 2022, 21,667 on 9 November 2023, 24,978 on 28 November 2024, and 27,939 on both November 2025 entries. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the sequence. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglect, though long stationary periods implied by low use can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely extended idle spells. The MOT history flags no advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity across the five tests, so no recurring wear pattern emerges from the official data. Given the absent defect list, focus the viewing on underbody corrosion, binding calipers from disuse, and degraded consumables such as wiper blades and tyres that low mileage will not have cycled through. The record implies a lightly used vehicle with basic upkeep met, but paper cleanliness does not certify hidden age-related deterioration.
