2016 SEAT Leon 1.2L Petrol · SD16 CCV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in October 2025 at 110,585 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. The car failed a test just two miles prior to its successful pass due to a fluctuating nearside front service brake. This defect typically indicates a warped brake disc or a sticking caliper piston, and fact that the owner addressed this specific issue immediately to secure the pass on the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with 13,683 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 13,364 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025. This regular interval suggests consistent road use rather than long periods ofກັບ, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and rubber components, though it accelerates the natural wear of consumable parts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The history shows a recurring pattern of brake wear, with thin pads and worn discs noted in 2022 and 2024, followed by the fluctuating disc in 2025. The buyer must check for uneven pad wear across the rotors and ensure the calipers are not seizing. Additionally, the 2022 and 2023 advisories regarding perishing and cracking on tyres suggest the previous owner may overlook age-related rubber degradation. Given the mileage, the suspension bushings should be checked for tears or signs of play, as these are common points of failure on a Leon of this age.
