2025 Cupra Leon V1 Etsi S-A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · RJ03 AAJ

The vehicle has no recorded MOT history with the DVSA, which is expected for a 2025 model as the first statutory test is not required until the third anniversary of registration. Consequently there is no data from which to infer a maintenance trend; the absence of any recorded failures or advisories simply reflects that the car has not yet been subjected to a formal roadworthiness examination rather than indicating either a stable or deteriorating condition. Mileage information is not supplied, so an assessment of annual usage rates cannot be made. Without a known kilometre reading it is impossible to determine whether the car has been driven lightly, stored for extended periods, or accumulated high mileage in a short time. Prospective buyers should request the current odometer reading and compare it with the vehicle’s age to gauge typical wear on the power‑train, suspension components and braking system, keeping in mind that a 2025 model would normally be expected to have between 5,000 and 15,000 mi after one year of normal use. Given the car’s youth and the lack of MOT data, the buyer’s primary focus should be on confirming that the manufacturer’s scheduled service has been performed and that all service stamps are present in the logbook. Inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition; even on a low‑mileage vehicle, tyres can degrade if stored for long periods, showing cracking or dry rot that compromises grip. Examine the 12 V battery terminals for corrosion and verify the state of charge, as a battery left idle for months can lose capacity. Check the brake discs and pads for any uneven wear, surface glazing or rust that may have developed from infrequent use, and ensure the calipers move freely without binding. Look for any signs of fluid leakage around the engine bay, coolant reservoirs and the rear axle, and confirm that the engine oil, coolant and brake fluid have been replaced in accordance with the service schedule, as time‑based degradation can occur even when the vehicle has seen little road time. When taking the car for a test drive, listen for any abnormal noises such as clunking from the suspension bushes, squeaking from the front struts or rear coil springs, and any vibration or shudder through the steering wheel that could indicate tyre imbalance or brake disc irregularities. Observe the response of the steering for play or pull, and verify that the gearbox shifts smoothly without hesitation. Finally, request a full MOT inspection from a qualified garage before finalising the purchase; this will provide an independent assessment of the vehicle’s structural integrity, emissions compliance and overall roadworthiness, and will highlight any latent defects that may not be evident in a visual walk‑around.
