2022 Cupra Formentor V2 TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · DF22 AEO

The most recent MOT test on 6 July 2025 at 23,154 miles confirmed the vehicle as roadworthy with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend, as there are no prior failures or advisories in the available history to suggest recurring issues. The absence of any advisories or failings at the last test indicates the vehicle met all DVSA standards for brakes, emissions, lights, and structural integrity at that point. However, the test was conducted over a year ago, which means some components—particularly suspension bushes, brake pads, and fluid systems—may now exceed their recommended service intervals. The lack of a recent advisory also means any developing wear, such as tyre degradation or minor corrosion, would not have been flagged. The recorded mileage of 23,154 miles over approximately four years suggests unusually low usage, averaging just 5,788 miles annually. This could imply the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, potentially accelerating wear on components like tyres, seals, and battery health. Low mileage alone does not guarantee mechanical soundness, but it does reduce the likelihood of high-mileage issues such as excessive suspension wear or drivetrain fatigue. The gap between the last MOT and today’s date—over a year—means some critical consumables, such as brake fluid, may require replacement, and the tester would not have assessed recent wear patterns like tyre tread depth or fluid leaks. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brakes, while not failed in the last test, should be checked for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, as binding was not recorded but could develop over time. Examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, especially if the vehicle has been stored in wet conditions. The battery and fluid levels (coolant, brake, power steering) should also be verified, as prolonged inactivity can lead to degradation. Finally, inspect the exhaust system for leaks or damage, as emissions systems were not flagged in the last test but could deteriorate with age.
