Find an Approved Used SEAT
Approved Used explained
What benefits are included?
SEAT is Volkswagen's style-focused Spanish cousin, with models ranging from the affordable Ibiza small car to the SEAT Leon family hatch right up to the practical SEAT Tarraco seven-seat SUV. All of the cars share a lot with their VW sister cars - the SEAT Ibiza is essentially a Volkswagen Polo underneath, for example - but they tend to be slightly more affordable to buy and offer a sportier drive, too.

Approved Used SEATs come with a minimum 24-month warranty, which can increase depending on the balance remaining of the manufacturer's standard three-year 60,000-mile warranty.
Approved Used SEATs come with MOT cover that lasts up to 24 months and protects you from bills of up to £750, although you will have to pay a £10 excess towards any required work.
All approved used SEATs are subject to a multi-point inspection before they join the Approved Used scheme. You also get 24 months of European Roadside Assistance from the AA in the event of a breakdown. Not happy with the car? You can swap it within 30 days with no hassle.
All Approved Used SEATs come with a full verified service history check, mileage verification, identity check and are checked for any outstanding finance.
If you're not happy with your approved used SEAT, you can swap it for a car of the same value (or pay more for a pricier one) within 30 days or 1000 miles of the purchase date.
Along with a multi-point check, full service history check and independent history check SEAT will give you five days of drive away insurance cover as standard, subject to eligibility. Do this and you'll also receive an annual quote for SEAT insurance cover.
What's more, for cars up to 36 months old you'll get two consecutive services for £129, plus £250 towards your finance deposit.

SEAT has produced a series of limited edition models in its past called Bocanegra, the Spanish for ‘black nose’, with each example distinguished by black detailing at the front of the car. First established in 1950, SEAT originally had close links with Fiat and many of its cars were based on existing Fiat models before being acquired by Volkswagen.
