2014 SEAT Toledo 1.4L Petrol · VE63 UVS

This vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 23 May 2026, but only after an initial failure. The failure was caused by a split nearside front outer CV boot, which is a critical component that protects the drive shaft from dirt and grime. There is a recurring pattern of rubber components perishing on the front end of the car. In addition to the recent CV boot failure, the 2025 MOT required repairs to split dust covers on both the nearside and offside front anti-roll bar linkages. This suggests a trend of age-related degradation of rubber seals and boots. The 2025 records also highlight a concerning lack of attention to tyre maintenance. The vehicle failed due to asymmetric tyres being fitted the wrong way round on both front wheels, alongside a cut sidewall and a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This indicates a history of poor maintenance or low-quality workmanship. The mileage of 82,428 miles is typical for a 12-year-old vehicle. This suggests the car has seen average use, meaning the current wear on suspension and rubber components is consistent with its age rather than indicative of extreme hard use or long periods of standing.
