2021 Cupra Formentor VZ2 Phev S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · SB21 VMM

A consistent track record of clean MOT certificates defines this vehicle's documented roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 19 August 2026 showing no defects. The inspection history from 2024 through to 2026 demonstrates a stable pattern of compliance, as no failures or advisories have been recorded across the three available testing cycles. This lack of recorded mechanical issues suggests that the components subject to MOT scrutiny, such as lighting, braking systems, and steering, have met the required standards during each inspection. The recorded mileage of 22,741 miles against a five-year age profile indicates a relatively low annual accumulation of approximately 4,548 miles. This usage pattern is significantly lower than the UK average, which typically suggests less frequent mechanical wear on high-friction components like brake discs, pads, and tyres. However, such low annual mileage can also imply that the vehicle spends extended periods stationary, which warrants a closer inspection of rubber components and seals that may be subject to drying or degradation when not in regular use. Given the absence of specific advisories regarding suspension or chassis integrity, a test drive should focus on verifying the smoothness of the ride and the precision of the steering. While the MOT record is clear, the low mileage profile means you should listen for any irregular knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes or coil springs when navigating uneven surfaces, as these can sometimes manifest after long periods of inactivity. Additionally, check for any hesitation in the hybrid powertrain transitions or unusual noises from the drivetrain that might not be captured in a standard MOT inspection. Regarding the braking system, although no binding calipers or worn discs were noted in the recent tests, the low usage rate means it is prudent to check for any pedal judder or uneven braking performance under load. Ensure the vehicle pulls straight under braking to rule out any potential sticking components. Because the MOT history provides no data on fluid degradation or specific component wear, these physical checks are essential to supplement the official records and confirm the current mechanical state of the vehicle.
