2022 Vauxhall Mokka E SRI Premium Electricity · GL22 SXM

The 2022 Vauxhall Mokka E SRI Premium presents a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 8,759 miles passed with zero defects, indicating the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order. This clean bill of health follows a clear resolution of a significant fault, suggesting the previous owner addressed a serious issue promptly rather than ignoring it. The mileage pattern reveals exceptionally low usage for a four-year-old vehicle. Between the failed test on 14 May 2025 and the retest on 15 May 2025, the odometer remained static at 7,999 miles, confirming the car was stationary during the repair period. The subsequent jump to 8,759 miles by November 2025 represents just 760 miles over six months. Annualised at roughly 2,190 miles, this is well below the UK average and points to very light, likely short-journey use. Such low mileage can mask wear from repeated cold starts and incomplete warm-up cycles, which is particularly relevant for a petrol engine's oil condition and the health of its exhaust after-treatment systems. The MOT history flags one recurring area of concern: the rear suspension. The failed test on 14 May 2025 specifically identified a serious fluid leak from the nearside rear shock absorber. While this was rectified the following day, a shock absorber failure on such a low-mileage, modern car is unusual. A prospective buyer should physically inspect both rear shock absorbers for any residual weeping, corrosion, or pitting on the chrome piston rods. The rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and bump stops should also be checked for perishing or cracking, as a sudden damper failure can sometimes point to underlying component fatigue or a past impact event. Beyond the suspension, the low mileage and short-journey profile warrant a focused inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. Brake discs and pads can develop surface corrosion and uneven wear from prolonged standing, leading to juddering or reduced efficiency. The tyre sidewalls should be examined for cracking or flat-spotting, as a car covering fewer than 2,200 miles annually may sit in one position for extended periods. Finally, verify the engine oil's condition and the coolant level, as infrequent use can accelerate moisture accumulation and degrade fluid service life.
