2022 Cupra Formentor VZ3 TSI 4DRIVE S-A 2.0L Petrol · SY22 LFN

As a 2.0L petrol engine with all-wheel drive, expect higher fuel costs compared to standard crossovers. You should budget for real world figures around 30-35 mpg depending on driving style. The tax band for this model is typically higher due to its performance output, and insurance groups are generally high given the VZ3 designation.

Maintenance costs will be higher than a standard hatchback due to the larger braking system and specialised performance components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, and routine servicing, will likely fall between £3,500 and £4,500.

The MOT history for SY22LFN shows no defects at 26,092 miles or 38,652 miles, which suggests the basic mechanical and lighting components have been functioning to standard. However, you should personally inspect the brake discs and pads for signs of uneven wear or scoring, as the VZ3 puts significant strain on the brakes.

Check the interior for any signs of excessive wear on the bolstered seats and steering wheel, which can reveal if the car has been driven harder than the mileage suggests. Additionally, inspect the undercarriage for any signs of fluid leaks from the turbocharger or engine seals, as these are not always caught during a standard MOT test.
