2018 VAUXHALL MOKKA1.4L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following the April 2026 test at 19,179 miles, though the maintenance trend shows signs of inconsistent upkeep regarding consumables. While the most recent pass cleared the vehicle, the tester flagged a deteriorated rear registration plate and a nail in the offside front tyre. The history reveals a period of declining tyre condition between May 2024 and May 2025, where minor cracking progressed into serious structural failures. The mileage profile indicates very light usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,397 miles per year. The data shows a steady, low-volume accumulation of distance, moving from 5,100 miles in April 2021 to 19,179 miles in April 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the car spends significant time stationary, which often correlates with the tyre degradation issues observed in the 2024 and 2025 records. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and wheels. The failure in April 2025 due to structural tears in three separate tyres suggests that the rubber may be perishing or ageing prematurely due to lack of use rather than wear. Inspect the sidewalls of all tyres for further cracking or bulging. The April 2026 advisory regarding the registration plate indicates a need for minor cosmetic maintenance to ensure compliance. Because the vehicle has been driven so little, a physical inspection should also focus on components that suffer when a car sits idle. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers do not bind, as the low mileage and previous tyre issues could point to a lack of regular mechanical exercise. Verify that the battery and various rubber seals remain in good condition to mitigate risks associated with long periods of inactivity.
