CUPRA MOT pass rates
CUPRA’s first-time fail rate across 3 models was 9.3%, better than the national 22.6%. The spread between models below is the interesting part.
| Model | Tests | Pass rate | Fail rate | Median miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Formentor | 14,310 | 90.7% | 9.3% | 28,533 |
| Born | 4,202 | 91.9% | 8.1% | 25,632 |
| Leon | 1,465 | 86.3% | 13.7% | 30,028 |
Fail rates are first attempts at class 4 normal tests in 2025, from DVSA’s anonymised data (retrieved 2026-09-12). Age mix drives a lot of the spread: a model sold mostly since 2020 will beat one whose survivors average 15 years old. Each model page shows the rate by age band.
