2019 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DP19 NKE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 69,514 miles passed, the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit at 2.6mm. This follows a trend of failures where defects are only addressed immediately before an inspection. The overall condition appears stable in terms of structural integrity, but the owner tends to only rectify mechanical and consumable issues once they result in an MOT failure. The mileage profile indicates a consistent usage pattern of approximately 10,000 miles per year, which is standard for a seven-year-old vehicle. The car covered 10,635 miles between the April 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 12,624 miles in the year leading up to the April 2026 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has seen regular road use, which typically results in predictable wear on components like brakes and wipers rather than degradation from standing. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and lighting assembly. The April 2025 failure at 56,895 miles highlighted severely thin rear brake pads and multiple headlamp bulb issues. While these were repaired, an in-person inspection should check the remaining brake discs for uneven wear or glazing resulting from past neglect. The 2024 failure regarding ineffective wipers also suggests that basic rubber components are ignored until they fail completely. Given the recent advisory on the offside front tyre tread, a thorough check of all four remaining tyres is necessary to ensure no underlying alignment issues are causing premature edge wear.
