2023 Cupra Formentor V2 TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · DA72 BPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in January 2026, yet the record indicates a worsening trend regarding braking system maintenance. While the car passed the test, the tester flagged thin brake pads on both the front and rear inner sets as advisories. This suggests that the braking system is reaching the end of its current consumable life cycle and requires immediate attention to prevent damage to the brake discs or loss of stopping performance. At 44,257 miles in just three years, this Formentor has covered an average of approximately 14,750 miles per year. This exceeds the UK annual average for modern passenger vehicles and places higher-than-normal demand on drivetrain and chassis components. The mileage data is sparse due to the vehicle's relative youth, but the rapid accumulation indicates that suspension bushings and brake components will age more quickly than a lower-mileage example. A physical inspection must prioritise the state of the braking assembly to ensure the discs have not suffered heat spotting or deep scoring from the thin pads. Given the advisory on the rear inner pads, a buyer should also check for signs of uneven wear or binding calipers that may have accelerated the degradation. The mention of under trays in the January record suggests a need to verify that all aerodynamic shielding remains secure and free from impact damage, which is common on high-mileage motorway vehicles.
