2012 SEAT Exeo S TDI CR 2.0L Heavy oil · DK12 TGU

The SEAT EXEO last passed MOT on 20 September 2023 at 174,348 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle’s maintenance record shows a consistent PASS on every test since 2018, indicating a stable condition with no emerging trends of deterioration. However, the most recent test is now more than two years old, so the car is not currently MOT certified. Mileage accumulation has accelerated markedly. Between March 2022 and September 2023 the odometer rose 15,023 miles in roughly three months, a rate far above the average 12,000‑plus miles per year suggested by the overall figure. Earlier intervals show a more gradual increase, but the recent surge points to either heavy usage or possible odometer inaccuracy. The total of 174,348 miles on a 2012 model equates to roughly 12,500 miles annually, which is high for its age and will have placed greater stress on consumables and wear components. Because the history is clean, there are no recurring faults to flag, yet the high mileage warrants a thorough pre‑purchase inspection. Focus on the brake system – check pad thickness, disc condition and caliper operation – as well as clutch wear, diesel fuel system health and suspension bushes for fatigue. Examine the exhaust for corrosion, the underbody for rust, and tyre tread depth across all four wheels. Verify service records and oil condition to gauge engine wear. A fresh MOT test should be arranged promptly to confirm roadworthiness before registration.
