2023 Cupra Born V3 EV Electricity · OO61 LMS

This Cupra Born presents an exceptionally clean mechanical history, characterized by a total absence of recorded defects or advisories. The vehicle achieved a clean pass on 20 February 2026, maintaining a stable trend of roadworthiness. Although a failure was logged on 19 February 2026, the lack of associated defect data suggests a minor administrative or trivial issue that was immediately rectified, leaving the car's structural and mechanical integrity unquestioned. The recorded mileage of 16,825 miles over three years indicates a low annual accumulation rate of approximately 5,608 miles. This usage pattern implies that the primary wear-and-tear components, such as the suspension arms and steering rack, have been subjected to minimal stress. Such low mileage generally preserves the condition of the interior and chassis, confirming the vehicle has not been used for heavy commuting or intensive long-distance haulage. Given the flawless MOT record, there are no specific flagged components like corroded brake pipes or worn bushes to investigate. Instead, the test drive should focus on the smoothness of the electric drivetrain and the consistency of the braking system. Pay close attention to the pedal feel to ensure there is no binding in the calipers, which can occur in low-mileage EVs where the physical brakes are used less frequently due to the reliance on regenerative braking. Final verification should include a check for any uneven tyre wear, which would suggest a tracking issue not yet severe enough to trigger an MOT advisory. Ensure the charging port door operates smoothly and that the infotainment system is responsive, as these electronic interfaces are the most critical points of inspection for a vehicle with this specific usage profile and age.
