The fault

How you spot it

On the first and second generation Toledo the boot lock sticks: the lock mechanism wears or rusts, and the boot does not open. On a saloon, folding the rear seat does not always let you reach the boot. The part is cheap, and because of the access the labour is the bigger part of the bill.

How we know

Information, not an expert opinion

We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.

  • A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
  • A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
  • You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
