2021 Vauxhall Mokka SRI Turbo 1.2L Petrol · GL21 SVE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift from perfect maintenance to reactive repairs. While the car passed its test in March 2026 at 49,472 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior at 49,413 miles. The trend shows that after two years of clean records in 2024 and 2025, mechanical wear is now manifesting, requiring immediate attention to maintain safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record progressed from 32,840 miles in April 2024 to 39,898 miles in March 2025, and then added nearly 10,000 miles by the 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not sat for long periods, though the sudden failure of the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint and the offside front drive shaft CV boot indicates that front-end components are reaching the end of their service life simultaneously. A buyer must inspect the front suspension thoroughly to ensure the repairs made after the March 2026 failure were executed correctly. The tester flagged an excessively worn ball joint and a severely deteriorated CV boot, which can lead to grease leakage and catastrophic internal joint failure if not addressed. You should also check the remaining rubber boots for cracking or heat damage and test the ball joints for any lateral play, as the vehicle age and mileage suggest other rubber suspension components are likely to follow similar wear patterns.
