2007 SEAT Toledo 2.0L Diesel · LD07 ALO

The 2007 SEAT TOLEDO failed its most recent MOT on 6 November 2025 at 105,845 miles, with the tester flagging a split off‑side front drive‑shaft CV joint boot, a deteriorated off‑side front anti‑roll bar linkage dust cover and a light misting of oil on the off‑side rear shock absorber, alongside corrosion of the suspension component, indicating a worsening maintenance trend. Although the vehicle is 19 years old, its recorded mileage of 105,845 equates to roughly 5,600 miles per year, which is low for its age; however the annual increments have risen markedly, climbing from 59,543 miles in August 2020 to 105,845 miles by November 2025, with the steepest jumps occurring between 2022‑2023 (84,039 → 93,964 miles) and 2024‑2025 (93,964 → 105,845 miles), suggesting increasing usage in recent years. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring CV joint boots, checking for cracks or insecurity, and examine the condition of all suspension components – the rear shock absorbers, front and rear anti‑roll bar linkages, ball joints and suspension bushes – for corrosion, play or oil leakage, while also verifying the integrity of the front and rear brake discs for pitting or excessive wear, the condition of the sub‑frame and coil spring for structural rust, tyre tread depth and any signs of perishing, and confirming that seat‑belt buckles, registration lamps and windscreen wipers operate correctly. Given the pattern of repeated mechanical failures and the presence of structural corrosion, the vehicle cannot be considered reliably roadworthy without a thorough independent inspection, despite its relatively low overall mileage.
