2022 Cupra Ateca VZ1 TSI 4DRIVE S-A 2.0L Petrol · AE72 XCK

The Cupra Ateca passed its most recent MOT on 6 February 2026 at 32,294 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently stable roadworthiness status. The maintenance trend shows resolution rather than deterioration, as the vehicle cleared its test cleanly after a prior failure that carried no listed defects. Mileage stands at 32,294 miles against a February 2026 test, equating to roughly 8,074 miles per year since the 2022 build. The record is sparse, with only two entries. A failed test on 17 October 2025 at 32,292 miles preceded the pass by under four months, and the two-mile difference between those dates shows the car was essentially idle during that window. Low annual use and a near-static odometer through late 2025 suggest periods of standing rather than active wear. The October 2025 failure with zero recorded defects points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection, such as a documentation or lighting-check anomaly, rather than a flagged suspension, brake, or corrosion fault. No advisories appear across either test, so the DVSA history gives no evidence of worsening bushes, discs, or structural concerns. A buyer should still confirm in person that the 4Drive system engages without hesitation, check tyre sidewalls for perishing from low-mileage storage, and verify the exhaust emissions and brake balance on a road test. The clean February 2026 result supports a sound purchase, but the unexplained 2025 failure warrants a glance at the original refusal notice.
