Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- DQ200 gearbox. Road-test the car from cold and ask for a scanner read of the gearbox fault memory. The garage check costs 60 to 110 EUR (Germany, year not stated) and is credited against a repair. Bad result: judder when pulling away, a delay before the car moves off, or stored gearbox faults. A clutch set costs 500 to 1,100 EUR (Germany, year not stated).
- Airbag recall (69EC). Give the VIN to a SEAT dealer. Bad result: the recall is still open. Built 15 June 2012 to 6 September 2017.
- Cooling pressure test (EA211 1.4 and 1.5 TSI). Ask a garage for a cooling system pressure test. Bad result: the pressure drops, or the coolant level keeps falling.
