If it’s had the services and upon arrival is in decent condition then nothing much else to check on a 2 year old car.
check the make of the tyres on it. Generally rubbish make tyres would indate a previous owner that did not really care about the car. However main dealers still fit trash tyres on cars to sell them, which annoys me

At that age it should look and drive perfectly. Ask if it has been in any bumps. There is no guarantee that it hasn't been although a Seat Approved Used car won't have anything major in its history.
At 17K it will still be on its original tyres. Listen for rattles but to be honest most are easy to fix anyway. Honestly, it should feel tight and right.

Well, you could probably destroy the front tyres in a few minutes but I personally wouldn't want a car that had! ;0)
Does the FR comes with mats from factory or do I need to get them from the dealer if I want original ones?
Mines came with them and i got it brand new. No cost to me but i did ask for them, so maybe it depends how hard lined the original buyer is.
I think they're an extra but pretty much all the cars I've seen have them. If not, you can buy ones on eBay that are just as good as the factory ones.
‘Seat Approved Used’ means absolutely nothing. I part exchanged a Mk3 I had that had been in a serious crash (before I owned it) and repaired badly, had issues with the heating and gearbox was rattling. The dealer sold it on a week later as ‘Approved Used’ there’s no way they were aware of the issues and didn’t repair them in that time. Dealer didn’t even look at the car when I part exchanged it. Just as an FYI!
