Formentor V2 Tsi: a strong MOT record by UK norms

Across 1,367 MOT tests, the Formentor V2 Tsi returns 90.8% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is tyre tread under the limit. Shock absorber damaged to the extent and a seriously damaged tyre round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 25,643, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through.

Buying or keeping a Formentor V2 Tsi?

Use the failure ranking as a pre-test checklist or a haggling lever. Treat the headline pass rate as a fleet-wide trend, not a guarantee on any individual car.

If you own a Formentor V2 Tsi and your last MOT looked nothing like the ranked failures above, that's normal — individual cars vary widely. The ranking shows the patterns testers flag most often across the country.
