2022 Cupra Formentor V1 TSI 1.5L Petrol · KS22 XZB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT test on 06 August 2025 at 22,690 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of immediate reactive repair following a failure just four days prior. While the vehicle passed the latest inspection, the presence of light misting on the offside front shock absorber remains an ongoing concern, indicating that the component is beginning the end of its service life but has not yet reached a failure state. At 22,690 miles over four years, this Cupra Formentor sits significantly below the national average mileage, averaging approximately 5,672 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests lighter mechanical strain, which generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to higher mileage examples. The gap between the failure on 02 August 2025 and the pass on 06 August 2025 demonstrates that the owner addressed the safety-critical defects flagged by the tester. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the offside front shock absorber to determine if the misting has progressed to a significant leak. The previous failure on 02 August 2025 revealed a nearside front tyre with a sidew cut reaching the cords and both front tyres worn to the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or incorrect camber. It is essential to verify that these tyres were replaced with quality units and that a wheel geometry check was performed to ensure uneven wear does not recur prematurely on new tyres.
