Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Blocked Plenum Drains(Serious)
Leaves and debris block the drainage holes under the battery, leading to water entering the cabin and damaging electronics.

- 1.8 TFSI Excessive Oil Consumption(Moderate)
The 1.8 TFSI engine is known for burning oil between services, a widespread issue across VW Group's EA888 Gen 2 engines. Can lead to catalyst damage if ignored.
- 2.0 TDI Flywheel and EGR Issues(Moderate)
The 2.0 TDI engine is prone to dual-mass flywheel failure and EGR valve carbon clogging, especially on cars used for short trips or city driving.
- Airbag Warning Light Recall(Serious)
SEAT issued a recall for certain Exeo models built between 2009 and 2013 due to a potential airbag deployment fault. The driver's airbag gas generator housing may rupture.
