Used SEAT Toledo for sale

The latest Seat Toledo comes equipped with anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, multiple front airbags and child-seat mounts in the back. Rear parking sensors are common, while some trims also add front sensors and cruise control. Safety is steady rather than state-of-the-art, but it covers everyday needs.

For the 2012-2019 Toledo, engine options typically include a 1.2-litre TSI petrol, a 1.6-litre TDI diesel and, later on, a 1.0-litre TSI petrol. Earlier generations offered a wider range, covering the 1.8 and 2.0-litre petrol segment, plus a 1.9 diesel variant.

Basic models include air conditioning, electric windows and a CD radio. SE and higher trims usually offer a touchscreen display, Bluetooth, USB connectivity and cruise control. The focus is on usability over luxury, but essentials for daily life are included – or at least available depending on spec.

The 1.6 TDI diesel is the economy leader with an official figure up to 64.2mpg (and even higher for Ecomotive versions). The 1.2 TSI petrol returns up to 57.6mpg, while the 1.0-litre petrol achieves around 61.4mpg officially. Real-world figures depend on driving style and mix of journeys.

As front parking sensors are absent from many models, cast an eye over the bumper for scuffs and dings. Run the air conditioning to confirm the presence of cold air, in case the unit needs recharging. Also, look for signs of worn interior plastics, which can mark easily. For peace of mind, consider The AA Inspection service for a comprehensive check.

Owners rate the Toledo highly for reliability, especially later models, which share proven Volkswagen Group components. Seat's overall build quality has improved immensely, so with sensible maintenance, a used Toledo promises years of steady, low-stress driving.
