How Cupra compares

Cupra has an MOT pass rate of 31.7%, against 69.4% across every make in the national record. That is 185,373 tests and 65,482 since 2012 with a defect code to categorise, so the figure rests on the whole national record for this make rather than a sample of it. See what Cupra vehicles fail on.

Common Cupra defects

From 65,482 Cupra tests in the national record with a DVSA defect code to categorise.

Axles, wheels, tyres and suspension 24,238 (37.0%)
Brakes 7,737 (11.8%)
Visibility 2,369 (3.6%)
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment 710 (1.1%)
Registration plates and vehicle identification 457 (0.7%)

A test can find problems in more than one category, so these figures do not sum to 100%. Common Cupra MOT failures has the full breakdown, how it is worked out, and how it compares with other makes.

These are averages. For one vehicle's actual test history, enter its registration.

Figures cover every Cupra in the national MOT record, which includes vehicles since scrapped or exported, so "on record" is not a count of cars on the road. Pass rate counts every recorded MOT test, retests included.
