2023 Cupra Formentor V2 TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · PL72 VVB

The most recent MOT test on 18 July 2025 confirmed this CUPRA Formentor V2 TSI as fully roadworthy at 23,624 miles, with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories or failings in the single available test suggests the vehicle has passed inspection without mechanical or structural concerns at the time. However, the test date is now just over a year out of date, placing it beyond the DVSA’s recommended 12-month interval for annual checks. While this does not inherently indicate current issues, it does mean the vehicle has not undergone a formal inspection since July 2025, leaving a gap where potential wear—particularly in high-wear areas like brakes, suspension, or exhaust systems—could have developed undetected. The recorded mileage of 23,624 miles over approximately three years suggests a steady usage pattern of around 7,875 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no MOT records prior to July 2025 to assess long-term trends, but the lack of failings in that single test implies no obvious neglect or recurring issues were present at the time. The absence of pre-2025 data also means there is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or extended periods of disuse, which could have accelerated wear or led to corrosion. However, the sparse history limits confidence in the vehicle’s full maintenance history beyond the final pass. Given the limited MOT data, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of critical components that are not covered by the MOT but are prone to wear at this mileage. Focus on the suspension—particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers—since these are not tested for wear in an MOT but can degrade silently. The brakes, while not failed in the last test, should be checked for uneven pad thickness, binding calipers, or warped discs, as these issues often develop between inspections. Additionally, examine the underbody for corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as this is a common failure point for vehicles of this age. The lack of prior MOT records makes it impossible to verify if these areas were previously addressed, so thorough visual and functional checks are essential.
