2021 Cupra Ateca Comfrt AND SND TSI 4D SA 2.0L Petrol · DA70 SZZ

This 2021 CUPRA ATECA has covered only 24,665 miles across five years, averaging around 4,900 miles annually. That is well below typical use and suggests either light domestic driving or extended periods of standing idle. Both scenarios carry different implications for your inspection. The MOT record is clean across all three tests. The most recent pass in January 2026 recorded no mechanical defects, though the test note flags that a nearside rear child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult seatbelt on that side. This is a minor administrative note rather than a fault, but it means that particular belt anchor point was not fully examined during the last test. Over the past two years, the vehicle has added only 5,803 miles. The stability of the MOT passes suggests no emerging mechanical problems in the tested areas, and the trend is genuinely stable rather than worsening. However, very low annual mileage raises specific concerns that an MOT does not always catch. Vehicles that sit for long periods can develop issues with fuel system components, brake fluid degradation, tyre sidewall cracking, and battery performance even if the engine runs and brakes operate during the test.
