MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 2016 Seat Leon (MJ16 WHR) between April 2019 and November 2025.

The record contains 7 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 15 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (11 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 20 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a))”; “Offside Front Shock absorbers has negligible damping effect (5.3.2 (d))”.
