2021 Cupra Formentor V2 TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · DF21 BVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred consumable repairs. While the most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 62,238 miles passed, it flagged an offside front inner tyre worn to the legal limit with uneven wear. This follows a previous advisory from August 2024 regarding thin rear brake pads, indicating that the owner is waiting for components to reach failure or legal limits before addressing them. The mileage accumulation is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,450 miles per annum. Between the August 2023 test at 36,099 miles and the August 2024 test at 50,207 miles, the car covered 14,008 miles in a single year, followed by another 12,031 miles in the subsequent twelve months. This consistent high-mile usage puts significant stress on the suspension, drivetrain, and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and alignment specifically, as the uneven wear noted on the offside front tyre in 2025 suggests camber or toe issues that have not been rectified. The braking system requires a thorough check of disc thickness and pad life, as the 2024 advisory indicates a pattern of delayed maintenance. Given the mileage, a physical inspection of the control arm bushes and shock absorber leaks is essential to ensure the high-frequency use has not caused premature degradation of the rubber components.
