2021 Cupra Formentor V1 TSI 1.5L Petrol · J24 XEC

This Cupra Formentor has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across three consecutive tests, all passing at the October deadlines. The most recent inspection on 2025-10-09 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, with no advisories or major failings to suggest imminent mechanical failure. The consistency of passing marks indicates the vehicle has likely undergone regular servicing, though the absence of defects does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress areas like suspension mounts or brake calipers—which cannot be fully assessed without a professional inspection. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,131 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with the vehicle covering 6,439 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests and 6,439 miles between 2023 and 2024. This regularity suggests the car has been driven consistently rather than left unused for extended periods, which could have led to accelerated wear in components like seals or fluids. Given the lack of recorded defects, priority should be given to inspecting suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points in high-performance vehicles. The brake system, including calipers, pads, and discs, warrants close examination for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Additionally, check for signs of structural corrosion around wheel arches and sills, as the Formentor’s design may be susceptible to road salt ingress. A thorough fluid check for leaks or contamination in the engine, transmission, and differential would also be advisable, as these are not routinely tested in MOTs. The absence of advisories does not rule out pre-existing issues, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended.
