2025 Cupra Terramar V1 Phev S-A 1.5L Hybrid electric · MA75 XMM

As of the date of this assessment, no DVSA MOT test history is available for this 2025 CUPRA TERRAMAR V1 PHEV S-A. In the United Kingdom, vehicles are not legally required to undergo their first MOT test until they reach three years of age, so a one-year-old car registered in 2025 would not yet be due for its initial statutory roadworthiness examination. Consequently, there are no pass or fail outcomes, advisory notices, or recorded defect patterns to evaluate. Without a prior MOT certificate on file, it is not possible to assess any maintenance trend or to establish a baseline of mechanical deterioration. The absence of test data should be regarded as entirely age‑appropriate and not as a negative indicator of the vehicle's underlying condition. The recorded mileage for this vehicle is unknown, and there is insufficient data to compare annual usage against its age. For context, a 2025 model would typically have covered between roughly 5,000 and 15,000 miles in its first year if used as a regular daily driver, though PHEV models often accumulate lower mileages if primarily used for short urban commutes with reliance on electric propulsion. Significant mileage accumulation can accelerate wear on components such as brake discs, tyres, suspension bushes, and the internal combustion engine ancillaries, while very low mileage can bring its own concerns including flat spots, corrosion, and fluid degradation. Without an accurate odometer reading, any prospective buyer should independently verify the current mileage against the DVLA and service records before proceeding. Given the limited MOT history, any prospective buyer should conduct a thorough independent physical inspection, prioritising items that the MOT test would ordinarily cover. Begin with the tyres, checking the sidewalls for cracking or perishing caused by age rather than wear, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth, and ensure the manufacturing date code indicates suitability for continued road use. Examine the brake discs for any signs of corrosion, particularly on the rear axle where limited use can lead to surface rust and potentially juddering or uneven braking performance, and verify that the calipers are not seizing due to infrequent operation. Inspect the underside of the vehicle, including suspension components such as coil springs, bushes, and anti-roll bar links, for any fluid leaks from the high-voltage battery cooling system, transmission, or power steering, and check the exhaust system for corrosion at the mounting points and joints. Additional checks appropriate to this vehicle's age and plug-in hybrid powertrain include verifying the 12-volt auxiliary battery condition, as premature failure is common even on nearly new vehicles and can cause starting and electronic system faults, and confirming that the high-voltage battery pack and charging cables show no signs of damage or warning lights on start-up. The engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid should be inspected for their age and condition, with particular attention paid to whether they have been serviced in line with the manufacturer's schedule, as time-based degradation occurs regardless of mileage covered. Request evidence of the build and service history documentation, including any digital service records, and consider an independent diagnostic scan via the OBD port to identify any stored fault codes related to the hybrid system, regenerative braking, or emissions that may not yet have triggered a dashboard warning.
