2023 Cupra Born V2 EV Electric · DG73 EDC

Steady and uninterrupted roadworthiness defines this electric hatchback's history, marked by a straightforward compliance record that culminated in a pass on September 2nd, 2026. This latest test yielded two routine advisories regarding front tyre wear, pointing to wear on both the nearside and offside edges close to the legal tread limit. Without any historical test failures or structural structural warnings on file, the MOT data indicates a vehicle that has consistently met statutory standards without chronic mechanical deterioration or systemic faults flagged during annual inspections. Accumulating 39,655 miles over roughly three years translates to an intensive annual usage rate of approximately 13,218 miles, placing this vehicle well above the typical mileage bracket for its age. This high-intensity driving profile means the chassis, suspension joints, and steering geometry have experienced accelerated operational demands compared to lower-mileage counterparts. Prospective buyers should recognize that this frequent, heavy-duty usage places a higher burden on high-voltage battery management systems, wheel bearings, and underbody components due to constant exposure to varying road surfaces and weather conditions. Targeted pre-purchase checks must focus directly on the front axle and steering components, given the recent advisories concerning edge-worn tyres. During a static and dynamic evaluation, inspect the inner and outer tread blocks of both front tyres to confirm alignment health, and listen closely for any humming or droning noises from the front wheel hubs during tight turns or higher speeds, which could indicate early bearing wear resulting from the high mileage accumulation. The heavy regenerative braking system and conventional friction brakes also warrant close inspection during a road test. Because electric vehicles rely heavily on motor braking, friction discs and pads can occasionally suffer from surface corrosion or lack of use, though high annual mileage generally mitigates this. Check the brake pedal for smooth, progressive bite without judder, and verify that the suspension dampens road imperfections cleanly without excessive body roll, clunks, or knocks over potholes, confirming that the front control arms and anti-roll bar drop links remain tight and free of excessive play.
