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.

The CVT automatic gearbox (Multitronic) can be unreliable if the fluid wasn't changed every 38k miles.
- 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.
