2021 Cupra Formentor VZ1 Phev S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric · YC71 XFJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in attention to consumable components. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 30,893 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one month prior. This de-mot failure occurred in December 2025 due to worn front tyres and a non-functional offside rear fog lamp, indicating that the previous owner neglected basic upkeep until forced to address it by the annual test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,179 miles per year over its five-year life. There is a gap of 6,618 miles between the December 2024 test at 24,237 miles and the December 2025 test at 30,855 miles. This rate of accumulation is typical for a modern PHEV but explains the rapid wear observed on the front tyres, which were flagged as being close to the legal limit in two consecutive testing periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and wheel geometry. The recurring mention of both front tyres being worn on the edge in both December 2025 and January 2026 strongly suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes rather than simple mileage wear. You must also verify the state of the brake discs for uneven wear and ensure the offside rear fog lamp has been replaced correctly following the previous failure.
