2021 Cupra Leon VZ1 TSI S-A 2.0L Petrol · MT71 NTK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 8 December 2025 at 24,725 miles , confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the past two tests, as the 11 December 2024 assessment at 19,167 miles also passed without failings. The absence of advisories or recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of mechanical order, though the low mileage means wear patterns remain untested beyond basic compliance. The 12-month gap between tests aligns with DVSA regulations, but the lack of intermediate servicing records means hidden degradation—such as suspension wear or brake fade—cannot be ruled out without further inspection. The recorded mileage of 24,725 miles over 4 years and 7 months (as of today) equates to approximately 4,900 miles annually , a figure significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either minimal use, extended periods of storage, or potential odometer manipulation, though the latter is less likely given the consistent MOT pass history. The 5,558-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests—far exceeding typical annual mileage—implies the vehicle was stationary for an extended period, which could accelerate wear on tyres, suspension seals, and battery health. A thorough check of tyre tread depth and suspension bush integrity would be prudent given this inactivity. Given the sparse MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on consumable components that degrade predictably over time rather than structural elements. The tyres , despite no recorded defects, warrant verification of tread depth and lateral wear, particularly if the vehicle was stored for prolonged periods. Brake discs and pads should be examined for uneven wear or glazing, as binding calipers or soft pedal application could have gone undetected without dynamic testing. The suspension —especially coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—requires assessment for stiffness or fluid leaks, as low mileage does not preclude internal degradation. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for corrosion or leaks, as rust propagation can accelerate when a vehicle is left unused. No advisories in the MOT history imply no prior warnings, but this does not guarantee current hidden faults.
