2022 Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate Turbo D 1.5L Diesel · SB71 RUJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in basic consumable upkeep. While it passed its latest MOT on 8 July 2026 at 12,342 miles, the tester identified multiple defects across all four tyres. These issues, specifically cracking perishing on the edges and the nearside front tyre reaching the 3mm limit, indicate that the rubber is suffering from age degradation despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,086 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between the January 2025 test at 6,040 miles and the July 2026 test at 12,342 miles, where only 6,298 miles were covered over eighteen months. This low-frequency use explains the perishing noted in the most recent inspection, as tyres can dry out when a car sits stationary regularly, but it also suggests the previous owner may have neglected routine inspections or preventative maintenance during long periods of inactivity. A buyer must prioritize a full replacement of all four tyres immediately, as the MOT record confirms structural failure of the sidewalls and edges. Because the vehicle has seen limited use, a physical inspection should also target the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when infrequent braking prevents rust removal. Rubber components like suspension bushings should be checked for cracking to ensure that the low mileage has not masked the effects of age on the chassis components.
