2021 Cupra Formentor VZ1 Phev S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · KP71 AWR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass result on October 1, 2025. The maintenance history shows a reactive rather than proactive trend. The car failed one mile prior due to offside rear inner brake pads being measured at 1.1mm, well below the 1.5mm legal threshold. While the immediate defect was rectified, the failure indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical components once they reach the point of failure rather than replacing them during scheduled service intervals. At 57,956 miles over five years, the car has covered an average of approximately 11,600 miles per annum. This figure aligns with typical usage patterns for a modern hybrid vehicle. There is a significant gap of 21,000 miles between the September 2024 test at 36,959 miles and the October 2025 test. This interval suggests consistent daily use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally positive for PHEV battery health and seal lubrication. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection. The September 2024 advisory noted both rear tyres were worn to the legal limit with uneven wear on the edges. This often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require checking to prevent further premature tyre degradation. Given the recent failure for thin brake pads, the buyer should inspect the brake discs for scoring or glazing to ensure the rear calipers are not binding, which could have accelerated the pad wear.
