2011 SEAT Exeo SE Tech CR TDI 2.0L Heavy oil · FX11 AHU

The 2022-02-27 MOT at 76,990 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the SEAT EXEO SE TECH CR TDI is presently roadworthy. No subsequent tests have recorded failures, indicating a stable maintenance record since the previous inspection. The vehicle, now 15 years old, has accumulated 76,990 miles, averaging 5,133 miles per year, which is low for its age. Mileage rose rapidly from 65,594 miles in the 2017 test to 68,913 miles in the 2018 test, a gain of 3,319 miles in one year, then increased by 3,317 miles to 72,230 miles in the 2019 test, before slowing to an average of 2,274 miles per year between 2020 and 2022. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring rear‑section rust observed in the 2018, 2019 and 2020 tests, where the exhaust silencer outer casing and undertrays were noted as corroded, and on the condition of the rear brake hoses that were flagged as slightly damaged in 2019 and 2020. The repeated presence of undertrays and the lack of any suspension‑related defects in recent tests suggest the rear suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for wear or binding, while the rear brake calipers should be checked for binding or corrosion. Edge wear on both front tyres in 2020 indicates possible alignment or suspension issues that merit verification. Overall, the low mileage and recent clean MOT suggest careful use, but the history of rear structural corrosion and brake‑hose damage means a thorough in‑person inspection of the rear chassis, exhaust mounting points, brake components and tyre condition is essential before purchase.
