We always love seeing how well these cars are being used, so we thought this would be a fun one for the community.

How many miles has your CUPRA or SEAT covered so far?

  • What model is it?
  • Have you owned it from new?
  • Any major repairs or issues along the way?
  • Still going strong, or starting to show its age?
  • What’s the highest mileage CUPRA/SEAT you’ve seen?
Whether you’ve just hit 10,000 miles or you’re well into six figures, we’d love to hear how your car has held up over time.

Photos of the odometer are definitely welcome too — especially if you’ve hit a milestone!

No major issues thankfully, well it did have a flat battery a few times, but not since I've turned off Keyless entry and removed the carbon fibre cover from the key which affected range :)

SEAT Leon 2.0 TFSI FR
Owned from new 03/2008
65k miles - no current intention of selling.

Issues/repairs:
Not many, all but the last 2 years has been serviced by SEAT Main Dealer. These are the only ones that come to mind:

New ABS sensor fitted
New rear Calliper as was sticking
New Front Coil Springs (rears will need changing soon)
One of the interior lights would not switch off (so bulb removed)
Anti Hijack, ‘lock at 10mph’ switched off as has a mind of its own
Radio was coming on randomly in the middle of the night probably about 10years ago, took out fuse for a few days and not happened since.
Starting to show its age:
Recently Auto lights seem a little reluctant to come on unless pitch black
Small amount of lacquer peel on driver’s door handle and headlight washer covers.

Cupra Formentor V2 204 Hybrid
3k miles
Owned for 3 months, loved it when it worked but had issues with the Mechatronic Unit and a few other things. We were offered our money back by our Cupra dealer. Now looking at a replacement but sadly probably not VAG
