2022 Vauxhall Mokka E SRI Premium Electric · DM51 AVA

A broadly clean MOT history for this 2022 Vauxhall Mokka-e is offset slightly by two advisories recorded at the most recent test on 6 August 2026, which merit close attention during a pre-purchase inspection. The vehicle has passed all three recorded tests, with the 2024 and 2025 examinations both returning clean sheets and no advisories, indicating that any deterioration surfaced only in the last twelve months. The presence of brake and tyre advisories on a four-year-old car with relatively modest mileage is not unusual, but the combination of both at the same test suggests that consumable wear items are beginning to demand attention rather than being isolated one-off observations. With three tests on file from 2024 onwards and 34,600 miles recorded, the average annual accumulation sits at roughly 8,650 miles, which is consistent with typical private or mixed-use driving for a vehicle of this age. There is no evidence in the MOT record of significant gaps in testing, unusual mileage jumps between examinations, or extended periods off the road, so the wear profile should broadly reflect steady, regular use. For an electric vehicle with relatively low annual mileage, brake components often last longer than on an equivalent petrol car due to regenerative braking, which makes the noted rear brake disc advisory worth investigating more carefully as it could point to a seized or binding caliper, corrosion from infrequent use, or simply natural pad-induced disc wear now reaching a serviceable threshold. Given the rear brake disc advisory, a prospective buyer should inspect both rear discs for visible lipping, scoring, or pitting around the outer edge and check that the calipers are sliding freely without resistance. Lifting the rear wheels and rotating them by hand will reveal any binding or roughness, and on a test drive any pulling to one side under gentle braking, vibration through the brake pedal, or an unusually long pedal travel should be taken seriously. The front tyre advisory on the nearside should prompt a check of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, as edge wear on one side can indicate an alignment or tracking issue, while also verifying the sidewall DOT date stamps to confirm the tyres are not aged out regardless of tread depth. It is also worth inspecting the rear discs through the wheel spokes for the bluish heat tint or heavy corrosion pitting that typically accompanies a scored surface, as such discs will often require replacement rather than just a pad swap. Beyond the flagged items, a general inspection should focus on the specific components most likely to show wear on a Mokka-e of this age and mileage, including the suspension bushes, anti-roll bar linkages, and coil springs for any knocking or clonking over speed humps, as well as the steering rack for any vagueness or clonks on full lock. The underbody and subframe should be examined for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the rear axle, as EVs can suffer from standing-water issues in undersealed areas. On a test drive, listen for any drivetrain whine or clicking from the electric motor under load, confirm the high-voltage battery state of health via the vehicle telematics or a dealer-level diagnostic, and verify that all charging functions, including scheduled charging and any pre-conditioning, operate as expected.
