That sad day has finally arrived.
Bought my 2.0tdi Exeo ST with 60,000 miles on the clock and always maintained that at 100,000 miles I would trade it in.
As my kids get bigger the demands on the car get greater. Rear legroom and boot space are paramount in the new list of current essentials. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Exeo and it has proven to be an extremely reliable car (it still is). Apart from the usual tyres and other typical consumables, we've been through Dieselgate together and come out the other side poorer but better in the long run. The Seat (VAG) software "fix" totally killed the engine resulting in it choking on its own carbon and being unuseable within 2 weeks. After paying a local VAG specialist to remap the engine (removing the VAG fix) it went from 143 to an alleged 172 BHP and became an absolute hoot to drive. A little heavy on the steering but still returns a 48 MPG average. I've had all new discs and pads professionally fitted and the EGR valve electronically deleted. The car is in superb condition but like a house, when you've just got it right, you sell it.
So what, may you ask is the replacement?
