Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a modern Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) with a very clean recent history. The vehicle shows no recorded MOT defects in its most recent tests, making it a lower-risk option compared to the model average.
When considering this PHEV, ensure you verify the charging cable set is included, as these are essential for the hybrid system's functionality. Given the vehicle's performance-oriented 'VZ2' trim, check that the hybrid battery health is documented and that the transition between electric and petrol power is seamless during a test drive.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, the model aggregate data shows that tyres, brake pads, and brake performance are common failure points for this range. We recommend checking the remaining tread depth on the tyres and the thickness of the brake pads, as these are high-wear items on heavier hybrid models.
As a 1.4L Plug-in Hybrid, running costs can be significantly reduced if the vehicle is charged regularly, allowing for much of the daily commuting to be done in electric mode. Fuel economy will vary greatly depending on how much the battery is utilised.
Tax and insurance will depend on the specific insurance group and the user's profile, but the 1395cc engine typically sits in a moderate bracket. Maintenance costs should account for both the internal combustion engine components and the hybrid system's specific requirements. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,100-£1,400, including fuel, tax, and routine maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the braking system and tyres. Although this vehicle passed its 2024 and 2025 MOTs without defects, the aggregate data for the CUPRA Leon indicates that brake pads and tyre condition are the most frequent reasons for failure in this model group.
Additionally, inspect the charging port for any signs of wear or damage and ensure the hybrid battery shows no signs of excessive degradation. Check the service history to see if the manufacturer-recommended maintenance for the PHEV system has been followed, as MOT records alone do not confirm mechanical upkeep.
This 2021 CUPRA LEON VZ2 PHEV S-A in black has covered 14,656 miles since its first registration in December 2021. Its MOT history is notably clean, with no defects recorded at its 13,258-mile test in December 2024 or its 14,656-mile test in June 2025. The mileage is slightly above the model aggregate average of 9,411 miles per year, but the lack of recorded failures is a positive indicator for this specific unit.
The model has an average MOT pass rate of 84.1%, with common issues relating to tyres and braking components.
