2026 Cupra Born V1 EV Electricity · AX75 LDZ

The DVSA records show no MOT history for the 2026 CUPRA BORN V1 EV, meaning there is no documented test outcome to reference and consequently no trend of maintenance performance can be established from official sources. In the absence of any recorded pass, fail, advisory or failure points, it is not possible to comment on whether the vehicle’s condition is improving, deteriorating or remaining stable over time. Mileage data for this vehicle is also unavailable, leaving the annual usage rate and any potential gaps in service history indeterminate. As a 2026‑model, the car would be brand‑new or very lightly used at the time of purchase, and any mileage that does exist is likely to be low. Low mileage on a new electric vehicle generally reduces wear on mechanical components such as brakes and suspension, but it does not eliminate the need for age‑related inspections, particularly of components that degrade with time rather than distance travelled. Prospective buyers should therefore concentrate on age‑related checks. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or hardening, as rubber can deteriorate even on low‑kilometre cars that have been stored for extended periods. Examine the high‑voltage battery pack for any signs of swelling, coolant leaks around the thermal‑management system, and verify that the battery management software is up‑to‑date; a healthy state of charge and balanced cell voltages are essential for long‑term reliability. Test the charging port and cable for secure fitment and absence of corrosion, and confirm that the vehicle’s on‑board diagnostics report no fault codes related to the inverter, motor or battery cooling circuit. Finally, carry out a conventional road‑test to listen for any unusual noises from the suspension bushings, coil springs or subframe mounts, and to feel for any irregularities in the regenerative braking feel, which can indicate wear in the brake calipers or discs that may have been left unused. Verify that the 12 V auxiliary battery holds charge, as a weak service battery can affect electronic systems. Check the condition of the under‑body for any signs of corrosion, especially around the chassis rails and mounting points, and ensure that all scheduled service intervals—including coolant changes for the battery pack and software updates—have been observed or are due soon. These checks will give a clear picture of the vehicle’s roadworthiness despite the lack of formal MOT documentation.
