Cupra Tavascan MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Cupra Tavascans in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Cupra Tavascan fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Cupra Tavascan from 2025, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2025 to 2026), its electric versions have an official range of 297 to 354 miles.

  • Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
  • Electric cars produce no exhaust CO2; range and miles per kWh are VCA’s official figures.
  • A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model name “CUPRA Tavascan”. How we use VCA’s figures.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Cupra Tavascan. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
