Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

MOT outcome The most recent MOT, carried out on 20 August 2025, was a pass. The only recorded advisory was that all four tyres were “worn close to the legal limit / worn on edge”. No other defects were noted. Pattern of wear All tyres being at the same stage of wear suggests a uniform consumption of tread rather than a single tyre that is out‑of‑balance or mis‑aligned. While this is not a safety‑critical failure, it does indicate that the tyre set is nearing the end of its service life and will need replacement before the next test. Trend assessment With only one MOT entry available, a long‑term trend cannot be established. The current condition is stable – the car passed the test – but the tyre wear is a point that will deteriorate quickly as the miles accumulate. If the tyres are not changed soon, the next MOT will likely fail on the tyre‑tread requirement. Mileage versus age At 64 017 mi the 2021 Cupra Formentor averages about 12 800 mi per year, which is higher than the typical UK average for a vehicle of this age. This level of mileage suggests the car has been used fairly heavily, which can accelerate wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes, suspension bushes and drivetrain components.
