2023 Cupra Born V1 EV Electric · BP23 LVO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 30 April 2026 with a clean bill of health and no recorded defects at 24,811 miles. However, this pass came just six days after a significant failure, so you must look closely at the history to understand the full picture. The car failed its initial test on 24 April 2026 due to dangerous tyre defects on the front axle. The offside front tyre had tread depth below the legal limit of 1.6mm and, more critically, had exposed ply or cords, which indicates the tyre was structurally compromised and potentially unsafe to drive. The nearside front tyre was also recorded as worn close to the legal limit or on the edge. With the car being roughly three years old and showing 24,811 miles, the annual mileage of approximately 8,270 miles is typical for its age. While electric vehicles often place higher demands on tyres due to weight and torque, wearing a set down to exposed cords at this mileage suggests a lapse in maintenance attention rather than simply typical wear. The previous owner likely ignored warning signs or allowed the tyres to remain on the vehicle beyond their safe service life. The mechanical trend appears to be stable and improving, as the faults were isolated to consumable parts that have now been addressed to pass the retest. There is no evidence in the history of recurring mechanical defects or issues with the drivetrain, brakes, or suspension.
