Used Seat Toledo 2013-present reliability

What should I look for in a used Seat Toledo hatchback?
Front parking sensors aren’t standard on all models, so you should check the front bumper for any scuffs or signs of poor paint repair. Look at the wheels for signs of curb damage, because alloys can be expensive to repair.
Have a good poke around the interior and inspect the plastics for scuff marks and scratches. Play around with all the electrical items to make sure they all work. Also, check that the air conditioning still throws out cold air, otherwise it might need to be re-gassed.

Contact your local Seat dealer for further information.
