2021 Cupra Formentor V1 TSI 1.5L Petrol · MA21 UTZ

The 2021 CUPRA Formentor V1 TSI presents a stable and consistently clean maintenance trend across its entire MOT history. The most recent test, conducted on 26 February 2026 at 27,794 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This mirrors the outcome of the two prior annual tests, on 14 February 2025 at 21,421 miles and 29 February 2024 at 16,445 miles, both of which also passed with no advisories or failures. The record indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged by DVSA testers. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,559 miles per year. The intervals between tests show a steady and consistent annual progression: 4,976 miles were covered between the February 2024 and February 2025 tests, and 6,373 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This pattern suggests regular, light use rather than prolonged periods of standing or sudden high-mileage bursts. The data is clean and unbroken, with no gaps in the MOT record that would raise concerns about undisclosed damage or neglected servicing intervals. Despite the flawless MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focusing on areas that MOT tests do not fully stress-test. The low annual mileage means the vehicle may have experienced repeated short trips that can cause premature corrosion on the exhaust system, brake discs, and underbody components due to insufficient heat cycling. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be inspected for perishing, as low-mileage vehicles sitting for extended periods can degrade rubber components. Tyre condition and date codes deserve attention, since infrequent use can lead to uneven wear or sidewall deterioration even with adequate tread depth. A test drive should assess whether the turbocharged TSI engine idles smoothly and whether the dual-clutch gearbox engages cleanly from cold, as short-trip usage can accelerate carbon buildup on intake valves. The underside should be examined for surface corrosion on subframes, brake lines, and exhaust mounting points, particularly if the vehicle has been garaged in a coastal or salted-road environment.
