2010 SEAT Exeo 2.0L Diesel · J44 CBA

The vehicle is road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 24 October 2025 at 145,898 mi. Earlier failures for tyre tread, steering‑rack play and fuel‑tank leakage have been rectified, leaving only advisory items such as rear‑sub‑frame corrosion and deteriorated CV‑boot seals; the overall defect trend can be described as stable. Across fifteen years the recorded mileage averages roughly 9,600 mi per year, a figure typical for a car of this age. The log shows steady increments between tests – for example, the odometer rose from 107,099 mi in September 2021 to 119,194 mi in October 2022, then to 128,379 mi by October 2023, and to 145,898 mi by October 2025 – indicating no unusually rapid mileage spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the rear sub‑frame, which has been noted as corroded on three occasions (2023‑10‑25, 2024‑10‑23, 2025‑10‑24) though not yet structurally weakened. The rear coil springs were flagged as corroded in the latest test and should be inspected for fatigue. Both front CV‑boot seals were recorded as severely deteriorated in 2025; replacement is advisable to prevent joint contamination. Persistent steering‑rack inner joint play, first observed in 2020 and recurring through 2025, warrants a thorough check for excessive wear or the need for bushings. Tyre tread depths are consistently close to the legal limit, so a fresh set of tyres would be prudent, and the parking‑brake efficiency, which failed in 2023, should be verified. Finally, the battery mounting note from 2025 suggests confirming that the battery is securely fixed to avoid future vibration issues.
