2021 Vauxhall Mokka SRI Turbo 1.2L Petrol · BJ71 HVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 28,848 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a cut on the nears rear tyre. This follows a failure in June 2025 where the vehicle was flagged for suspension component issues and brake wear. While the immediate defects appear resolved in the latest entry, the history suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they threaten to cause an MOT failure. At five years old, the recorded 28,848 miles represent low-average usage, averaging approximately 5,770 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between the November 2024 test at 19,333 miles and the June 2025 test at 27,077 miles, covering nearly 8,000 miles in just seven months. This low annual mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and brake hardware, which aligns with the reported deteriorated ball joint dust covers and thin brake pads. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension thoroughly, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages, as these have shown signs of rapid deterioration and failure. The front brake system must also be checked to ensure the thin pads noted in 2025 were replaced with quality components and are not sticking. Additionally, verify the offside front seat belt webbing mentioned as frayed in 2024 to ensure the structural integrity remains intact, and check the offside wiper to confirm the previous failure was fully rectified with a replacement blade.
