2021 Cupra Formentor V2 TSI 1.5L Petrol · FD21 HXC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in proactive consumable care. While it passed its latest MOT on 24 June 2025 at 36,058 miles, it had failed just two miles prior. This immediate failure was triggered by a nearside front tyre with insufficient tread depth and surface corrosion on both front brake discs, indicating that the previous owner neglected basic maintenance until forced by the annual testing process. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. Between the June 2024 test at 25,264 miles and the June 2025 test, the car covered 10,794 miles. This represents a significant spike in annual usage, which likely accelerated the wear on the drivetrain and braking components. The lack of defects in the 2024 test suggests that components were being run until failure rather than being replaced at a scheduled interval. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the front braking system and tyres. The record of pitting and scoring on the front discs during the 2025 test suggests significant surface oxidation, likely caused by the vehicle sitting stationary for long periods or using inferior materials. You should verify that the brake pads have been replaced and that the new discs are not thin or grooved. Given the failure on the nearside front tyre, the remaining depth and age of all four tyres should be checked to ensure they are not all nearing the legal limit.
