2021 Cupra Ateca Comfrt AND SND TSI 4D SA 2.0L Petrol · LM70 EFV

The most recent MOT, dated 5 January 2026, was a clean pass at 28,222 miles with no recorded defects. The two earlier tests (January 2025 at 17,292 miles and January 2024 at 12,022 miles) were also passes with no faults noted. This consistent record suggests the vehicle has not developed any new safety‑related problems over the past three years. The pattern across the MOTs is therefore stable – there are no emerging issues to flag, and the lack of defects each year points to a generally sound mechanical condition. Because each test was a full pass, there is no evidence of a worsening trend; if anything, the steady record could be taken as a modest sign of improvement in reliability. Mileage is low for a five‑year‑old car, averaging about 5,600 miles per year. Such modest usage can mean reduced wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres and suspension components. However, low mileage can also indicate long periods of inactivity, which sometimes leads to issues like dry seals, rust‑prone under‑carriage areas or stiffened suspension bushings. The mileage figure alone does not conclusively tell whether the car has been gently driven or largely idle, so the implication for wear is ambiguous. For a buyer, the priority should be a hands‑on inspection that looks beyond the MOT record: Check the tyre tread depth and uniformity; low mileage does not guarantee good tyres if the car has sat unused.
