2022 Cupra Formentor V1 TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · GL22 LWA

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2026-03-23, with no defects recorded at 15,757 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no signs of deterioration or recurring issues across two consecutive tests. Both inspections were passed without advisories or failures, indicating consistent mechanical integrity and compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. Mileage progression is minimal and evenly spaced: 15,757 miles at the March 2026 test, up from 16,217 miles at the March 2025 test — a net decrease of 460 miles over 12 months. This suggests the vehicle has been stationary or driven very sparingly during that period, which may reflect low usage or extended storage. The low annual mileage — roughly 3,939 miles per year — aligns with the vehicle’s four-year age, supporting the notion of gentle, infrequent use rather than heavy wear. There are no signs of rapid mileage accumulation or suspicious gaps in the record, which lends credibility to the odometer reading. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should inspect the suspension components closely, particularly the bushes and coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from rubber degradation due to inactivity. Brake systems should be checked for binding or uneven wear, especially if the vehicle has been parked for long periods — the 2025 test noted no brake issues, but corrosion or seized calipers can develop quietly. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be verified, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage cars. No advisories were flagged in either test, but the absence of recorded faults does not eliminate the need for a thorough mechanical inspection, particularly around areas prone to inactivity-related failure. The vehicle’s MOT record shows no red flags, but the low mileage pattern warrants caution. Buyers should treat this as a mechanically sound car with minimal wear, yet not assume it is free from hidden issues. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on components that degrade with time rather than distance — suspension, brakes, exhaust, and fluid systems — to ensure no latent faults have developed during periods of inactivity.
