2021 Cupra Formentor VZ1 Phev S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · DA71 AHN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-27 at 50,990 miles showed a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a resolved state following a prior failure on 2025-10-14 at 50,949 miles. However, recurring failures in 2024-10-04 and 2024-10-03 at 43,135 and 43,097 miles respectively—both with no defects—suggest intermittent issues that may have been addressed. The pattern shows no clear worsening trend, but the proximity of the two 2025 failures raises questions about consistency in maintenance. The latest pass implies corrective action was taken, though the absence of defect details limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s mileage of 50,990 miles over five years aligns with an average of ~10,200 miles annually, which is typical for its age. However, a significant jump from 43,135 miles in October 2024 to 50,990 miles by October 2025—over 7,855 miles in 12 months—suggests increased usage. This rapid accumulation could accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain elements. The sparse MOT data between 2024 and 2025, with no defects recorded, implies either meticulous maintenance or limited testing frequency, though the latter is less likely given the recent pass. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these are common wear points under higher mileage. The lack of corrosion or structural issues in MOT records is reassuring, but the vehicle’s hybrid powertrain warrants scrutiny of battery health and electrical systems. Inspecting for binding calipers, uneven brake disc wear, and exhaust emissions compliance would provide clarity on the car’s mechanical state. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the recent back-to-back tests highlight the importance of a hands-on assessment to confirm long-term reliability.
