2022 Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate EV Electricity · DS72 FPD

The vehicle's most recent official DVSA MOT test, conducted on 28 November 2025, resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded against the inspection. While a single pass offers only a limited longitudinal dataset from which to draw firm conclusions about long-term mechanical trajectory, the absence of any flagged items at this milestone is a positive indicator of present roadworthiness. Given that the 2022 Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate EV is now four years old and approaching the threshold where wear-related advisories on suspension, brakes, and tyres become more common, this clean result suggests that the fundamental safety-critical components were in sound condition at the time of test. Should subsequent MOT history become available, any emergence of recurring advisories relating to items such as brake discs, coil springs, or suspension bushes would warrant closer attention, but on current evidence the maintenance trend appears stable. With 25,412 miles recorded over an approximate four-year period, the vehicle has covered around 6,353 miles annually, which sits squarely within typical usage parameters for a privately owned family SUV in the UK. This moderate annual accumulation implies a balanced usage pattern rather than the extremes of long-term standing or high-mileage motorway commuting, both of which carry their own distinct wear profiles. The relatively modest mileage is mechanically favourable for an electric vehicle, as there is reduced opportunity for high-cycle wear on components such as brake discs and friction material, which benefit from regenerative braking. Equally, it suggests that the high-voltage battery pack, drive motor reduction gears, and associated thermal management systems have not been subjected to excessive load cycles, though calendar degradation of the lithium-ion cells remains a separate consideration independent of mileage. For a prospective buyer, although the MOT record is unblemished, a thorough physical inspection remains essential given the age and standing time that may have accrued between uses. Tyres should be examined carefully for sidewall perishing or cracking, as rubber compounds deteriorate with age regardless of tread depth, and a four-year-old vehicle may have original-fitment tyres that have begun to harden and check, even if the tread appears legal. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, which powers ancillary systems and control modules on this electric vehicle, should be load-tested, as lead-acid units in vehicles that are infrequently driven or left standing for extended periods often suffer from sulphation and reduced cranking capacity. Brake calipers and discs warrant a manual check for binding or surface corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been parked outside, as EVs that rely heavily on regenerative braking can develop rust on the friction surfaces that may not be cleared through normal use. In addition to the mechanical checks, attention should be directed toward time-based servicing items that do not appear on an MOT but are critical to the continued integrity of the vehicle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and typically requires replacement every two to three years regardless of mileage, so verifying when this was last attended to is advisable. Coolant for the thermal management system, which regulates both the traction battery and power electronics, has a finite service life and should be checked against the manufacturer's replacement schedule, while the reduction gear oil in the single-speed transmission should also be confirmed as within its service interval. A pre-purchase diagnostic scan using dealer-level equipment is strongly recommended to interrogate the high-voltage battery state of health, check for any dormant fault codes in the body control and infotainment modules, and confirm that all software calibrations are current. Finally, a road test should be conducted with the windows down and the climate system off to listen for any abnormal noises from the suspension over undulating surfaces, as early-stage coil spring fatigue or worn anti-roll bar bushes can manifest as clunks or rattles before becoming visible on an MOT.
