2021 Cupra Formentor V2 TSI S A
CarHunch analysed 1,207 real MOT records for the 2021 Cupra Formentor V2 TSI S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 CUPRA FORMENTOR V2 TSI is a strong performer, passing its MOT first time in 92.6% of cases—well above the 80% UK average—with only 8.5% ever showing a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low. This suggests the model is mechanically sound and well-built.
At just under 29,000 miles median for a three-year-old car, these vehicles are running light, which partly explains the excellent pass rate; the average MOT failure rate of 0.21 per vehicle is genuinely low, though advisories average 1.9 per car, suggesting minor wear items crop up regularly. If you're considering one, focus your pre-purchase inspection on suspension and brake components, as these minor advisories are statistically the most common issue area.
What to check before buying a 2021 Cupra Formentor V2 TSI 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.
