2023 Cupra Formentor V2 TSI 4drive S A

CarHunch is tracking 462 2023 Cupra Formentor V2 TSI 4drive S A vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 2023 CUPRA FORMENTOR is in serious trouble: only 9.2% of vehicles pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, making it one of the least reliable cars in its age group. The dangerous defect rate sits at just 0.2%, so safety isn't the primary concern—instead, owners are battling repeated minor faults that require multiple test attempts to clear.

At an average mileage of 22,807 miles, these cars are running relatively low use for their age, yet they're still failing MOTs at an alarming rate, which suggests the issues are design or manufacturing problems rather than wear-and-tear. If you're considering this model, budget for recurring MOT failures and get a pre-purchase inspection from a specialist familiar with the CUPRA Formentor's known weaknesses—the 45 median reliability score is a red flag that demands answers before you commit.

What to check before buying a 2023 Cupra Formentor V2 TSI 4drive S A

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
