SEAT EXEO2012 · 2.0L DIESEL

The 2012 SEAT EXEO remains roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2025-04-02, with the primary concern being a worn offside front suspension bush. While this fault did not result in excessive movement, it indicates a component nearing the end of its service life. The maintenance trend shows stability in recent years, with no failures since the 2023-04-19 test, suggesting the owner has addressed issues promptly. However, the recurring tyre wear and suspension concerns point to a need for careful monitoring of these systems. The vehicle has accumulated 133,870 miles over 14 years, averaging approximately 9,562 miles annually—a typical rate for its age. Mileage increased by 9,370 miles in just 14 months between the 2021-12-13 and 2023-04-20 tests, indicating a period of more intensive use. The MOT history is relatively clean, with only one failure in the past four years, which occurred due to minor lamp and plate issues rather than mechanical faults. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained with attention to safety and compliance. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension components, particularly the front and rear bushes and track rod ends, as these have shown signs of wear. The offside front tyre and rear brake disc were flagged in multiple tests, indicating potential alignment or braking issues that may require attention. Additionally, the nearside front track rod end showed slight play in 2024, which could affect steering precision and should be checked. Structural integrity, especially around the undertray and wheel arches, should also be examined for corrosion, as rust can compromise safety and longevity.
