2023 Vauxhall Mokka GS Line Turbo Auto 1.2L Petrol · FH72 DWN

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 22 December 2025. As this represents the first mandatory test for a 2023 model, the overall maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle achieving a pass without any major mechanical failures or structural defects. However, the presence of specific advisories regarding the tyres indicates that while the core mechanicals are sound, the attention to consumable wear and tear has been somewhat lacking. The recorded mileage of 20,918 miles over approximately three years averages to roughly 6,973 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a modern compact crossover, suggesting a balanced duty cycle that avoids the risks associated with both excessive wear from high mileage and the degradation caused by prolonged standing. Mechanically, the drivetrain, suspension, and interior trim should remain in a relatively fresh state, provided the manufacturer's service intervals have been strictly followed. The MOT advisories specifically highlight issues with the nearside tyres, including perishing or cracking on the front and a nail in the rear. The buyer must verify if these tyres have been replaced or professionally repaired since the December test. Perishing often indicates age-related rubber degradation or exposure to harsh environments, while a nail puncture can compromise the structural integrity of the tyre carcass if not patched correctly. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any unusual humming or vibration from the nearside and visually inspect the sidewalls for bulges or further cracking. Beyond the tyres, it is essential to verify the service history to ensure the turbo engine and automatic transmission have received their scheduled oil and filter changes. The buyer should check the brake discs for any surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding, which can occur even with moderate mileage. A check of the 12V battery health is recommended, as modern electronic-heavy vehicles can suffer from voltage drops if used for frequent short trips. Finally, a visual inspection of the engine bay for fluid leaks and a check of the suspension bushes for any premature splitting will complete a comprehensive roadworthiness evaluation.
