2023 Cupra Born V1 EV Electric · H12 NWL

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with its most recent MOT pass on 25 September 2026 showing no recorded defects. The absence of failures or advisories across the documented testing history suggests a stable mechanical profile regarding the components inspected by the DVSA. The vehicle exhibits a low-mileage usage pattern, having covered 13,410 miles over approximately three years. This equates to an annual average of roughly 4,470 miles, which is significantly lower than typical UK driving averages. While lower mileage generally implies less wear on mechanical components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and tyres, it can also indicate periods where the vehicle has remained stationary for extended durations. Given the lack of recorded defects, there are no specific component failures to investigate. However, because the mileage is low and the vehicle is an electric model, a test drive should focus on ensuring all systems operate smoothly without hesitation. Pay close attention to the absence of any unusual noises from the suspension when navigating uneven surfaces, as low usage can sometimes lead to seized components or perished rubber elements, though none have been flagged in the official records. During the inspection, confirm that the regenerative braking feels consistent and that there is no unusual pedal judder or noise from the braking system. Since no advisories were issued for leaks or structural corrosion, the primary focus remains on verifying that the vehicle's low usage has not resulted in any subtle mechanical stasis, ensuring the drivetrain and steering assembly respond linearly and without unexpected vibrations.
