2009 SEAT Exeo 2.0L Diesel · KS09 XFJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent recorded data. In the November 2021 test at 171,237 miles, the SEAT Exeo passed with no recorded defects, suggesting that the previous mechanical issues identified in earlier years were addressed. However, because the last recorded test occurred over four years ago, the vehicle is currently significantly overdue for an MOT and requires a comprehensive inspection to verify its current safety and emissions compliance. The mileage history shows a significant discrepancy in usage patterns over time. Between August 2017 at 237,037 miles and September 2020 at 259,267 miles, the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles in just three years, which indicates high-intensity use. Conversely, the November 2021 entry of 171,237 miles is inexplic lower than the 2020 reading, suggesting either a data entry error in the national database or a clock replacement. The overall average of approximately 10,000 miles per year is consistent with national averages for a vehicle of this age. A buyer must pay close attention to the steering and braking components during a physical inspection. The September 2020 test flagged play in the steering rack inner joints on both fronts and deterioration of both rear brake hoses. While the 2021 test showed no immediate failure, these components are prone to wear on high-mileage vehicles. You should check for any steering knock or play and inspect the rubber brake lines for further cracking or bulges. Given the age and high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and corrosion on the underbody is also essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound.
