2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DX66 OFR

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 18 June 2025 at 41,662 miles but carried advisories for both rear tyres showing damage and the nearside front tyre cracking. This follows a 2024 advisory for front tyres worn close to the limit and rear brake pads wearing thin. The recurring tyre defects across two consecutive tests indicate consistent neglect of this critical component. No structural or safety-critical failures were recorded, but the tyre issues suggest inadequate maintenance. At 41,662 miles over nine years, the average annual mileage of 4,629 is below typical usage. The 2021 to 2022 period saw 2,515 miles covered in nine months, but subsequent years showed fluctuating usage—6,710 miles in 2023-2024 followed by only 2,713 miles in 2024-2025. This irregular pattern, particularly the low mileage in the last year, suggests the vehicle may have been stored for extended periods, accelerating tyre perishing despite low mileage. A buyer must physically inspect all four tyres for cracks, dry rot, and age-related degradation beyond the MOT advisories. Check brake discs for corrosion pitting and ensure pads are not worn, especially given the 2024 brake pad warning. Inspect suspension bushes and mounts for stiffness or cracking, as infrequent driving can cause rubber components to deteriorate. Verify exhaust system integrity for rust, though no MOT advisories were noted here. Prioritise these checks before purchase.
