2013 SEAT Exeo Sport Tech TDI CR 2.0L Diesel · M3 PFA

The vehicle is in solid roadworthiness condition as of its most recent MOT on 7 August 2025 at 182,044 miles, with no defects recorded. This follows a clean streak of four consecutive passes since mid-2022, indicating consistent and competent maintenance without recurring mechanical failures or safety-critical issues. The recorded mileage of 182,044 over 13 years averages 14,003 miles annually, which is high for a vehicle of this age and suggests regular, possibly long-distance use. The gap between the 2022-06-09 failed test and the subsequent pass on 2022-06-21 is negligible—just 12 days—and both occurred at nearly identical mileages, suggesting the failure was likely a clerical or minor non-mechanical issue, not a systemic fault. Mileage progression between tests remains steady: 7,433 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 7,443 miles between 2024 and 2025, confirming consistent usage without long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage means critical wear items are likely near or past their service life. A buyer must inspect the condition of the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and rear brake calipers for binding or corrosion, as these commonly degrade under sustained high-mileage use. The exhaust system, particularly the rear silencer and mounting brackets, should be checked for rust or loose hangers, as this model is prone to accelerated corrosion in damp climates. The timing belt, though not part of the MOT, should be verified as replaced within the manufacturer’s recommended interval given the age and mileage—failure here could cause catastrophic engine damage. The brake discs and pads, while not flagged in any test, are likely worn thin after 182,000 miles and may need replacement soon. Tyre tread depth should be measured across all four corners, as even minor uneven wear can indicate alignment or suspension wear not detected in the MOT. There is no record of structural rust or major component failure, but a thorough underbody inspection for frame rail or wheel arch corrosion is essential before purchase.
