2009 SEAT Exeo SE CR TDI 2.0L Diesel · KS09 XFE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on December 15 2025 at 171,432 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving. While the history shows two failures in early 2023 and mid-2024, the vehicle achieved clean passes in the subsequent remedial tests. This suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified mechanical faults, as the issues did not recur in the following inspections. At 171,432 miles over 17 years, the Exeo has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a diesel saloon. The data shows a significant period of active use between February 2023 and December 2024, where the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles in just sixteen months. This rapid accumulation indicates consistent long-distance motorway driving, which is generally beneficial for the diesel particulate filter and clutch compared to short city trips, though it places high mileage on wear-related components like the turbo and suspension bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, given the high mileage and the history of failures. Although the record does not list the specific reasons for the 2023 and 2024 failures, high-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished control arm bushes, worn coil springs, and leaking shock absorbers. Inspect the underside for significant structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis remains uncompromised despite its age and high usage.
