2022 Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate EV Electric · AV08 OUR

The Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate EV presents a clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 6 December 2025 at 23,357 miles showing no defects—an outcome that suggests stable mechanical condition and adherence to basic maintenance. The absence of advisories or failures in both the 2025 and 2023 tests indicates no recurring issues with critical systems such as brakes, suspension, or structural integrity. However, the significant gap of over two years between tests (from October 2023 to December 2025) raises questions about whether the vehicle has been driven minimally or simply not subjected to regular inspections. For an EV, this could mask potential wear in less obvious areas, such as battery health or high-voltage system integrity, which MOTs do not cover comprehensively. The recorded mileage of 23,357 miles over four years—averaging roughly 5,839 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly for a model not yet six years old. The first MOT at just 2,943 miles in October 2023 suggests the car may have spent extended periods in storage or seen very light use, which could contribute to understressed components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. Without intermediate MOTs, it’s impossible to confirm whether any minor wear has been addressed, but the lack of defects in both tests implies no major mechanical neglect. Buyers should verify if the low mileage reflects genuine light use or if the vehicle has been intermittently driven, as the latter could still result in hidden wear. Given the sparse MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of components not routinely checked in standard tests. Pay particular attention to the high-voltage battery system, including any signs of swelling, leakage, or degraded connections, as EVs often show battery degradation before other symptoms appear. Check the condition of the suspension—specifically the coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—for any signs of corrosion or fatigue, even if not flagged in the MOT. The brakes, while not mentioned in the records, should be tested for uneven wear or binding, especially if the car has been driven sporadically. Finally, inspect the underbody and wheel arches for corrosion, as the extended gap between tests could mask early rust development in a vehicle that may not have been regularly washed or maintained.
