CUPRA ATECA COMFRT AND SND TSI 4D SA2021 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in March 2026, although it only did so after an initial failure. This failure was caused by a structural bulge in the nearside front tyre, which indicates a failure of the tyre's internal carcass rather than standard tread wear. There is a concerning pattern regarding the maintenance of consumables. In April 2025, the vehicle was flagged for low tread on both front tyres and the nearside rear. Following this with a structural tyre failure in 2026 suggests a reactive approach to maintenance, where issues are only addressed when they cause an MOT failure. The overall trend for tyre condition appears to be worsening. The mileage of 41,528 miles is typical for a five-year-old vehicle. This suggests a standard usage profile, meaning there is no immediate evidence of extreme wear from high mileage or degradation from long periods of standing. A buyer should first perform a detailed inspection of all tyres. Check for mismatched brands, uneven wear patterns, and specifically examine the sidewalls for any further bulges or impact damage that may have been overlooked.
