2022 Cupra Born V2 EV Electricity · CU72 VKC

The CUPRA BORN V2 EV presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile based on the available DVSA MOT records. The most recent test, conducted on 9 October 2025 at 6,617 miles, passed with zero defects and zero advisories. With only a single recorded test in the vehicle's history, there is no recurring fault trend to analyse. The maintenance trend is best described as stable, with no evidence of developing mechanical or structural concerns at the point of its last inspection. At roughly four years old, the recorded mileage of 6,617 miles equates to an average of approximately 1,654 miles per year. This is exceptionally low for a vehicle of its age. The mileage progression is difficult to map precisely because the 6,617-mile figure appears on the sole recorded MOT from October 2025, with no prior test entries to establish an accumulation curve. The vehicle has clearly seen very light use, which may reflect short urban trips or extended periods parked. Low mileage of this nature can mask issues such as deteriorated rubber components, dried-out door seals, or infrequently exercised brake systems that would otherwise see regular use. Given the absence of flagged defects in the MOT record, there are no recurring mechanical faults to highlight. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on areas that low-mileage electric vehicles commonly present. The tyres deserve close scrutiny; even with minimal tread wear, the rubber date codes should be checked for age-related cracking, as original fitment tyres dating to 2022 may need replacement regardless of remaining tread depth. The brake system warrants inspection for surface corrosion on discs and pads, as infrequent use can lead to uneven deposits and reduced friction efficiency. Suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links should be examined for perishing from age rather than mileage. The battery health and charging behaviour of this EV are critical areas that MOT records cannot illuminate. A buyer should request a State of Health report from a CUPRA dealer or use an OBD-II diagnostic tool capable of reading battery cell data. Inspect the charge port and cable for wear, and verify that both AC and DC charging functions correctly. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, often overlooked in EVs, should be tested as it can degrade from disuse independently of the high-voltage pack. Finally, check the underside and sill areas for any signs of corrosion or stone chip damage, as even a low-mileage vehicle stored outdoors can develop surface rust in vulnerable areas.
