Insight summary

Seat Exeo is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 4,315 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 74.2% from 36,589 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 51. The current pool shows an average of 147,040 miles and an average age of 13.9 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 147,044 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are windscreen damage, coil springs and engine warning light. The practical read is that the Seat Exeo looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
