2011 SEAT Exeo 2.0L Diesel · LT61 GFO

This 2011 SEAT EXEO passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 at 112,898 miles, but the test revealed a concerning pattern of deteriorating mechanical components that demand urgent attention before purchase. The most serious finding is a severely deteriorated constant velocity boot on the nearside front inner drive shaft. This is not a minor cosmetic issue. Once the rubber boot splits, moisture and dirt ingress rapidly, leading to joint seizure and sudden loss of drive. The cost of replacement can run into hundreds of pounds, and driving on a failed joint risks complete transmission failure. Combined with play detected in both front steering rack inner joints, the front-end geometry and drivability of this vehicle are already compromised. The brake system shows a worsening trend. In August 2024, the rear brake disc was worn and pitted but serviceable. By August 2025, both rear brake hoses are now deteriorating, classified as slightly compromised. Brake hoses under sustained pressure will eventually fail, risking brake loss or uneven braking.
