2013 SEAT Toledo 1.6L Diesel · SB13 VTA

This 2013 SEAT Toledo has covered over 210,000 miles, which is significantly higher than average for its age. While the high mileage suggests the car has been used extensively, the MOT history indicates a pattern of deferred maintenance regarding consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be fluctuating rather than steadily improving. While the 2024 MOT was clean, the 2025 test identified a severely deteriorated CV boot and tyres worn on the edges, suggesting potential alignment issues. The 2023 history was particularly concerning, showing a failure due to a fractured coil spring, a leaking shock absorber, and worn brake discs. This indicates that the suspension and braking systems are under significant stress, likely exacerbated by the high mileage. The mileage suggests the car has been a workhorse. It is difficult to determine if it has suffered from neglect or simply high-intensity use, but the recurring issues with tyres and suspension parts point toward a vehicle that requires frequent, proactive maintenance to remain roadworthy. Before purchasing, you must inspect the front suspension and steering components thoroughly, as the edge-worn tyres and previous coil spring failure suggest underlying alignment or geometry issues. Check the inner CV boots for grease spray, as the most recent MOT flagged deterioration.
