The 2018 SEAT Toledo has a notably higher overall defect rate of 165 per 100 cars compared to the yearly average of 120 per 100, representing a 37% increase. Defects are particularly prevalent in the 62,000 to 93,000 miles category, where the Toledo's rate reaches 325 per 100, exceeding the average for this mileage range. While the model excels in areas such as steering, visibility, and lights, where it shows significantly fewer defects than average, it struggles with brakes and suspension, both of which are considerably higher than the average. Overall, while the Toledo performs well in certain categories, its higher defect rate indicates potential concerns that may require attention, especially as mileage increases.
