2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · CK18 WLA

The 2018 Vauxhall Mokka is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 8 April 2026 recording a pass at 27 724 miles. The tester flagged thin front brake pads on both nearside and offside (1.1.13 (a)(ii)). This is a consumable issue rather than a systemic failure; the vehicle’s maintenance history shows a stable pattern with only minor defects appearing intermittently. The 2024 test noted rear tyre damage, while the intervening years recorded no defects, indicating that wear has been managed without progressive deterioration. Mileage accumulation has been modest for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. Between April 2021 (13 345 mi) and April 2026 the total rose to 27 724 mi, averaging roughly 3 466 mi per year. The step from 2021 to 2022 added 5 233 mi, after which annual increases settled around 1 700–2 900 mi, suggesting lighter use or periods of inactivity. MOT entries are spaced annually (with the 2022 test in March) and the latest test falls only three months before the present date, confirming a recent and relevant inspection. A buyer should inspect the front brake system closely: measure pad thickness, examine disc surface for uneven wear, and ensure calipers operate without binding. The rear tyres showing slight cracking in 2024 merit a thorough visual check for perishing, correct pressure, and alignment-related wear. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for corrosion or excessive play, as low‑mileage vehicles can accumulate static loads that degrade these components. Finally, a walk‑around for structural rust, exhaust condition, and any signs of moisture ingress will reveal whether the low mileage has been offset by storage‑related corrosion.
