2021 Cupra Formentor V1 TSI 1.5L Petrol · JD08 JCK

The 2021 CUPRA Formentor V1 TSI presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded at the most recent test on 3 April 2025 at 34,732 miles. No defects or advisories appeared in that examination, and the prior annual pass on 30 April 2024 at 27,743 miles was equally clear. The only blemish is a failed test on 16 April 2024 at the same 27,743 miles with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,946 miles against the vehicle's five-year life, a typical figure for this age of car. The odometer moved 6,989 miles between the April 2024 tests and the April 2025 test, a steady accumulation that implies regular but undemanding use. The record is sparse, with just three entries and no advisories on wear items such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes across either pass. Given the absence of recorded defects, no recurring mechanical or structural faults emerge from the history. The April 2024 failure with no defects cited warrants a check of the original refusal reason, as DVSA systems occasionally log paperwork or identification issues separately from the defect field. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, subframe corrosion, and caliper operation, since the MOT sample is too thin to confirm long-term component condition. The clean recent pass and ordinary mileage suggest the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance. Low annual use may have limited wear on drivetrain and consumables, but standing periods can age tyres and seals invisibly. Verify service history against the 34,732-mile marker before purchase.
