It turns out that it was made not from plastic but from MDF!
£22.49 (reduced from £29.99) for an MDF toilet seat???

I was that man. Bought one Sunday and fitted it. I thought it had the
solidity and feel of the wood ones without the cheap wood look and dodgy
varnish (the MDF ones are "high gloss" finish). I wouldn't have bought one
at £30 but took a deep breath and paid the £22.50

As regards the OP, the range of adjustment vis-a-vis bringing the seat
forward in modern hinges is large as you can put the vertical threaded pin
in off-centre. The MDF one was the same thickness (or more) than the old
wood one (which wouldn't stay up and had gone manky). I was able to fit it
with off centre pins such that this one did stay up.
