2016 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · SM16 MVL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of consistent mechanical maintenance. The most recent MOT test conducted on 11 August 2025 at 68,774 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a successful retest in August 2024 after a single failure on the previous day, suggesting that the owner is proactive in addressing immediate compliance issues identified by the DVSA. The mileage pattern is consistent with light usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,877 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 46,141 miles and the August 2025 test at 68,774 miles, the vehicle covered 22,633 miles, representing a steady and predictable rate. This low annual accumulation generally implies less strain on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. While the record is clean of recurring structural corrosion or long-term advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the components most likely associated with the 2024 failure, as the specific reason for that lapse is not detailed in the summary. Focus on the condition of the brake discs and calipers, and the integrity of the suspension arm bushes and shocks. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check the age of the tyres for any sidew cracking, as rubber components can degrade over time even if the vehicle is driven infrequently.
