2011 SEAT Exeo 2.0L Diesel · GL11 JOJ

The most recent MOT test on October 8th, 2025, passed, but the preceding test on October 6th, 2025, failed due to a fractured or broken offside rear coil spring and the nearside front outer tyre being worn close to the legal limit. The recurring mechanical pattern shows issues with suspension components, specifically shock absorbers and track rod ends, appearing in both the 2024 and 2023 reports. There was also a significant failure noted in the 2024 report concerning the offside front valve stem misalignment. The trend in the MOT history suggests a pattern of mechanical wear and potential component failure rather than improvement. The mileage of 141,873 miles for a 2011 model is typical for its age, suggesting a level of wear consistent with regular use, which supports the observed wear on tyres and suspension parts. A buyer should immediately inspect the rear suspension components, particularly the coil spring area, as this was a failure point. Secondly, thorough inspection of the front suspension, including the shock absorbers and track rod ends, is essential due to the previous findings of oil misting and play. Finally, check the condition of the tyres, especially the nearside front outer tyre, as this was flagged as being worn close to the legal limit in both the failed and passed tests.
