2021 Cupra Ateca VZ1 TSI 4DRIVE S-A 2.0L Petrol · HK21 RYC

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 17 April 2026 at 54,983 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement. While the April 2025 test resulted in an initial failure due to a defective windscreen wiper, thinning rear brake pads, and a perishing nearside rear tyre, the subsequent retest and the most recent 2026 inspection indicate that these consumable issues were addressed. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a five-year-old vehicle. The car covered 6,108 miles between May 2024 and April 2025, and a further 5,242 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This averages roughly 5,600 miles per year over the last two years, which is slightly lower than the overall lifetime average of 10,997 miles per year. This pattern suggests a period of lighter usage recently, rather than rapid or heavy-duty accumulation that might accelerate wear on the drivetrain or suspension components. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. Although the 2025 failure noted thinning rear brake pads, the clean 2026 report suggests replacement or adjustment occurred. It remains prudent to check the remaining pad thickness and inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring. The previous advisory regarding a cracking nearside rear tyre should also be verified by checking the sidewalls of all four tyres for any signs of age-related perishing or structural damage. Beyond these consumables, the lack of recorded advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions across the documented history suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents common mechanical deterioration. The absence of structural corrosion or significant mechanical defects in the recent records provides a positive indication of the vehicle's general condition.
