2021 Cupra Formentor V1 TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · AP21 FYM

The 2021 CUPRA Formentor presents a largely clean MOT record based on the three available tests, with the most recent examination on 13 June 2025 at a recorded 50,107 miles resulting in a pass with no advisories or defects. The maintenance trend appears stable on the surface, though the dataset is exceptionally sparse. Across three tests spanning roughly fourteen months, only one failure is recorded on 25 April 2024, and crucially, the failure entry shows no defects recorded against it. The immediate retest on 3 May 2024 passed cleanly with no advisories, indicating the issue was either rectified immediately or related to a presentation or documentation matter rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should note that the absence of advisories across all three tests is unusual for a vehicle approaching five years old, and it may simply reflect incomplete data rather than an exceptionally maintained example. Mileage accumulation cannot be fully assessed because the supplied record begins in April 2024, by which point the vehicle would already have been three years old. The two tests in 2024 occurred only eight days apart, so no meaningful mileage progression can be drawn between them. Between the 3 May 2024 pass and the 13 June 2025 pass, the vehicle accumulated mileage up to the recorded 50,107 figure, which aligns with an approximate annual usage of around 10,000 miles — broadly typical for the age and class of this vehicle. There is no evidence in the supplied data of rapid accumulation or extended periods of standing that would raise immediate concerns about drivetrain neglect or brake corrosion from inactivity. With no specific component advisories to review, a physical inspection should focus on areas that commonly affect higher-mileage Formentors and similar MQB-platform vehicles. The DSG automatic transmission (S-A) should be checked for smooth gear changes and any hesitation or juddering on cold starts. The 1.5 TSI engine warrants inspection for oil consumption and any signs of timing chain stretch, a known concern on this unit. Brake discs and pads should be examined for wear, as the lack of advisories may simply mean they were within tolerance at test but approaching replacement at 50,000 miles. Suspension components, particularly coil springs and anti-roll bar bushes, should be inspected for cracking, and the underside examined for any fresh corrosion or fluid leaks that would not have been visible at the time of test. A diagnostic scan for stored fault codes is strongly recommended, as intermittent electronic issues on CUPRA models frequently do not surface during a standard MOT. Buying Score: 68, Risk Level: Low. The record is too sparse to draw firm conclusions, but the absence of recorded defects across three tests, combined with typical mileage usage, suggests no immediate red flags from the MOT history alone.
