2019 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · BK19 ALU

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 19,764 miles resulted in a pass despite flagging wear on both nearside and offside front upper MacPherson strut pins or bushes. While these defects did not result in excessive movement at the time, they represent the first sign of mechanical wear recorded in the history after several years of clean test results. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 7,732 miles and February 2026 at 19,764 miles, the car covered only 12,032 miles. This low usage suggests short trips or long periods of inactivity, which often preserves drivetrain components but can lead to the degradation of rubber components and the development of brake corrosion or flat-spotted tyres despite the lack of high-mileage. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension components to determine if the wear on the MacPherson strut bushes has progressed since the February 2026 test. Since both sides were flagged simultaneously, the issue is likely age-related material fatigue rather than impact damage. It is also advisable to check the brake discs for surface pitting or rust, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from seized calipers when they are not used frequently enough to clear away surface oxidation.
