2021 Cupra Formentor V2 TSI 1.5L Petrol · KT71 EXE

The overall roadworthiness verdict for the 2021 CUPRA FORMENTOR V2 TSI is good for its age and mileage, but the maintenance history reveals a clear pattern of instability. The vehicle failed the MOT on 2025-08-13 at 15,672 miles, indicating a critical failure in the braking system, which is a serious structural risk that requires immediate professional assessment. The most recent test on 2025-08-22 at 15,672 miles was passed, suggesting the braking components were in acceptable condition at that point, though the gap between the two failed tests implies the failure likely occurred during the testing period rather than being an isolated incident. The mileage trend is characterized by rapid accumulation and a significant gap between the two most recent MOTs. The vehicle was tested in August 2025 at 15,672 miles, followed by a failed test on August 13, 2025, at the same mileage, and a third test on August 22, 2024, at 12,045 miles. This sequence demonstrates a lack of consistent maintenance, with the car accumulating significant miles between the failed and passing tests, suggesting that basic upkeep was not prioritized during the ownership period. Given the failure of the brakes and the rapid mileage accumulation, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for binding rear brakes and other brake components, as well as for structural integrity and corrosion. The history indicates a potential for further breakdowns if the identified issues are not addressed, and the rapid mileage gap suggests that the car may have been driven under conditions that exacerbated wear on the suspension and drivetrain.
