2011 SEAT Exeo 2.0L Diesel · AD05 BYE

The most recent MOT from July 2025 was a pass, but it identified a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and a corroded nearside rear coil spring. There is a clear and recurring pattern of issues related to the vehicle's suspension. The MOT history shows repeated problems with coil springs, including corrosion noted in 2022 and a failure in 2023 due to fractured front springs. The 2024 inspection also highlighted worn anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes. The vehicle's condition trend regarding suspension components appears stable but persistent. While the car has passed its recent tests, the recurring nature of these faults suggests that age-related wear is a constant factor. The mileage of 167,205 miles is typical for a 15-year-old vehicle, implying standard usage patterns. A buyer should closely inspect the condition of the coil springs for any signs of corrosion or cracking. It is also essential to check the suspension bushes and anti-roll bar linkages for wear, and to verify the overall condition and tread depth of the tyres.
