2022 Vauxhall Mokka E SRI Premium Electricity · DF22 BVL

The most recent DVSA MOT carried out on 17 July 2025 recorded a full pass with no advisory or failure items, indicating that at the time of testing the vehicle met all statutory safety and emissions requirements. With only a single MOT entry available, the absence of any recorded defects suggests a stable maintenance pattern, but the lack of earlier data means there is no observable trend of deterioration or improvement to compare against. At 45,652 miles the Mokka E SRI Premium is roughly four years old, giving an average annual mileage of about 11,400 miles. This figure sits comfortably within the typical UK usage range for a family SUV and does not point to excessive wear. The mileage is not so low as to raise concerns about long periods of inactivity, yet it is modest enough that major consumables such as tyre tread, brake pads and clutch plates are likely to retain useful life, provided the vehicle has been driven under normal conditions. For a prospective buyer the primary checks should focus on age‑related degradation rather than mileage‑driven wear. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or bulging and verify the DOT date; tyres older than six years should be considered for replacement regardless of tread depth. Examine the 12‑volt battery terminals for corrosion and assess the battery’s state of charge, as a four‑year‑old unit may be approaching the end of its service life. Look under the vehicle for any signs of corrosion on the chassis, suspension mounting points and exhaust system, especially if the car has spent time standing idle. Verify that the brake discs are free of heavy rust, scoring or glazing and that the pads have sufficient thickness; a visual inspection of the calipers for seized pistons or uneven pad wear is advisable. Finally, confirm that the service book shows regular oil and filter changes, timing‑belt or chain service (if applicable), and that coolant, brake fluid and gearbox oil have been refreshed in accordance with the manufacturer’s calendar intervals. During a test drive listen for any clunking or squeaking from the front and rear suspension, which could indicate worn bushings or deteriorating coil springs. Pay attention to steering feedback for any play or vibration that might reveal worn tie‑rod ends or a misaligned steering rack. Observe the brakes for any shudder, pulling to one side or a spongy pedal, which could betray uneven pad wear, warped discs or air in the hydraulic system. Finally, monitor engine idle and acceleration for smoothness, noting any roughness, mis‑fires or exhaust smoke that could hint at ignition or emission system issues that may not have been captured in the last MOT.
