2025 Cupra Formentor V2 Phev S-A Hybrid electric (clean) · MA75 HDX

As a 2025 registration, this CUPRA Formentor V2 PHEV is currently too young to require its first statutory MOT, which in the United Kingdom will fall due three years from the date of first registration. Consequently, there is no official DVSA MOT test history available for this vehicle, meaning there are no recorded pass results, advisories, or failure points to evaluate. While the absence of an MOT record is entirely expected for a car of this age, it does mean that any prospective buyer must rely solely on physical inspection, manufacturer service history documentation, and an independent pre-purchase inspection rather than historical regulatory test outcomes. Because the vehicle is still within its manufacturer warranty period, any structural, exhaust, or brake-related defects should in theory be rectified by the supplying dealer under warranty, provided servicing schedules have been strictly adhered to. Regarding mileage, the recorded odometer reading for this vehicle is not available, and the information provided does not allow for a comparison against its one-year age. As a plug-in hybrid, the Formentor V2 PHEV is likely to have been used for a mix of short electric-only commutes and longer petrol-driven journeys, which can place differing demands on the powertrain. Without a documented annual mileage, it is impossible to determine whether the vehicle has been heavily utilised, lightly driven, or potentially subjected to prolonged standing periods. The buyer should verify the odometer reading against the vehicle's V5C registration document and ensure it is consistent with the manufacturer's delivery date, paying particular attention to any gaps in the documented service schedule. Given that this vehicle is essentially brand new and lacks a roadworthiness test history, the buyer's inspection should focus on condition issues commonly associated with low-mileage or demonstrator vehicles, as well as time-based degradation irrespective of distance covered. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, which powers the vehicle's onboard electronics and hybrid system controllers, can deteriorate due to calendar age and infrequent use, so a battery health check is highly advisable. The tyre sidewalls should be inspected closely for perishing or cracking caused by age, even if the tread depth remains substantial, as UV exposure and standing still can degrade the rubber compound. Furthermore, the brake discs and calipers may exhibit surface corrosion from lack of regular use, potentially leading to binding or uneven braking feel; the buyer should therefore ensure the vehicle is driven far enough on a test drive to warm the braking components and confirm smooth, consistent stopping without shudder. Finally, given the sophisticated nature of the plug-in hybrid drivetrain, particular attention should be paid to the high-voltage battery state of health, the charging cable and port condition, and any warning messages displayed on the instrument cluster. Fluid degradation occurs over time, so the brake fluid, coolant, and transmission fluid should all be checked for condition and replacement intervals rather than relying on mileage alone. The oil and filter should have been changed according to the manufacturer's schedule, which may be time or mileage dependent. If the vehicle was used predominantly for short electric journeys, the petrol engine may not have reached optimal operating temperature regularly, leading to potential condensation within the engine oil and exhaust system, which can accelerate internal corrosion. A comprehensive inspection by a specialist familiar with plug-in hybrid vehicles is strongly recommended to verify the integrity of the regenerative braking system, the electric drive modes, and the overall structural condition of the vehicle before purchase.
