2016 SEAT Leon 1.4L Petrol · WL65 FFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 74,870 miles resulted in a failure due to lighting and fluid-related issues. While the car passed immediately after addressing the washer jets, headlamp cleaning devices, and aim, the presence of a worn nearside front suspension arm bush suggests that components are beginning to show signs of age and wear that require ongoing monitoring. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between October 2022 at 54,410 miles and September 2025 at 74,870 miles, the car covered 20,460 miles, representing a steady and typical rate of use. The clean record from September 2023 at 60,063 miles indicates a period where the vehicle was in good condition, though the subsequent failures show that wear-related items are now appearing more frequently. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the worn nearside arm bush noted in September 2025 will likely require replacement soon to prevent handling instability or uneven tyre wear. The braking system also warrants attention, as the record flagged thin front pads in October 2022. Given the recent failures regarding headlamp cleaning devices and aim, it is essential to verify that the LED or HID systems are fully functional and correctly aligned, as these are expensive components to repair if they fail beyond simple adjustment.
