2021 Cupra Formentor V2 Phev S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric · DG71 YNE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing wear-related issues. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 52,722 miles passed, it introduced several advisories that were not present in the previous 2025 test. The appearance of pitted rear brake discs and oil misting on the suspension suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where mechanical components require more proactive attention to prevent future failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. The car covered 9,611 miles between July 2024 and February 2026, and roughly 4,000 miles in the year leading up to the February 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, though the 2024 advisory regarding worn tyres at 43,111 miles indicates the owner may have neglected tyre replacement between service intervals. A buyer should personally inspect the offside front shock absorber to determine if the misting has progressed to a full seal failure, which would necessitate immediate replacement. The rear brake discs are noted as pitted and scored, so a physical check of the thickness and surface condition is required to ensure adequate braking performance. Additionally, the 2026 advisory regarding cracking rear tyres and a cut nearside front tyre indicates that the rubber is reaching the end of its functional life and should be replaced soon to maintain safety and grip.
