2021 Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate NAV Turbo Auto 1.2L Petrol · AC02 WJC

The latest MOT test conducted on 10 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from December 2024, indicating that the overall maintenance trend is exceptionally stable. The vehicle has consistently met DVSA roadworthiness standards without requiring corrective repairs, suggesting a high level of care or a very light duty cycle. The recorded mileage of 13,198 miles over approximately five years indicates an average annual usage of roughly 2,640 miles. This is significantly lower than the typical UK national average. While such low mileage implies minimal mechanical wear on the turbo engine, automatic transmission, and suspension bushings, it also suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, which introduces specific risks associated with inactivity rather than wear and tear. Given the clean MOT history and low usage, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be on components that degrade over time regardless of mileage. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber compounds harden and lose grip over five years even if the tread depth remains high. During the test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the braking system and feel for brake shudder, which can indicate surface corrosion or binding calipers resulting from long periods of standing. Attention must be paid to time-based maintenance rather than mileage-based intervals. Verify the service book to ensure engine oil and filters have been changed annually, as oil degrades through oxidation and moisture accumulation during short-distance usage. Evaluate the health of the 12V battery, as infrequent use can lead to premature capacity loss. Finally, ensure the air conditioning system is functioning correctly, as seals can dry out and refrigerant can leak when the system is not regularly cycled.
