2012 SEAT Exeo S TDI CR 2.0L Diesel · DA61 XGH

The most recent 2026‑01‑10 MOT at 129,574 miles passed without defect, confirming that the SEAT EXEO S TDI CR is presently roadworthy. Although earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 recorded failures, each was followed by a pass, showing that any identified faults were corrected rather than allowed to worsen. The mileage of 129,574 miles over the vehicle’s 14‑year life averages 9,255 miles per year, which is typical for its age. The interval between the 2023‑10‑04 failure at 104,105 miles and the 2023‑10‑13 pass at 104,377 miles covered only 272 miles in nine days, while the jump to 116,035 miles by 2024‑11‑15 reflects an accumulation of 11,930 miles in 31 days, and a further 655 miles in the 21 days to the 2024‑12‑05 test, indicating heightened usage in late 2024. The two failures in 2023 and 2024, though defect‑free on paper, suggest recurring concerns such as suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers or structural rust that required attention before each subsequent test. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or scoring, check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, and verify that the exhaust system meets emission limits, ensuring that any previous advisories were fully rectified.
